Summary
Taken by D.M. Vernon, 2006, Near Canberra

Tree worker without proper PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Tree workers should, at a minimum, have head, eye, and ear protection whenever tree work is in progress. Some jurisdictions require Chainsaw Protective Apparel even while in the tree, interestingly this does not include chainsaw gloves when using a chain saw in a tree as they could get in the way while tying knots and moving around in the tree. *for more information see "tree climbing operations" AFAG leaflet produced by HSE
