Unsafe or dead tree removal and tree branch removal can help eliminate a threat. TREE REMOVAL AND SAFETY It’s better to be safe than sorry. Be proactive about tree removal, and look for these signs to identify hazardous trees. Trees may need to be removed if they have: Multiple trunks joined in a “V” shape A leaning trunk Fissures in the soil Exposed roots Weak or broken branches Hollow pockets Peeling bark Split wood Detached or hanging branches Variance in trunk diameter Scorched tree tops (near power lines) Wood particles near the trunk Soil gaps around the trunk Fire damage SAFE TREE REMOVAL While a tree itself may be hazardous, tree removal is just as dangerous. Whether you are trimming branches, cutting down an entire tree, or removing a tree stump, it is important to take the right safety precautions to avoid injury. OSHA provides many safety tips for tree trimming and removal.
