Pocket Guide - Preventing Struck-Bys

This TCIA Pocket Guide aims to increase awareness of 'struck-by' injuries and help the reader avoid hazards in rigging operations. A struck by injury may come from a swinging or falling branch, limb section, hanger, etc. during tree work. Covers awareness of landing zones and vocal communication, and moves on to discuss safety in tree rigging. Includes information on multiple lines, working load limits, shock loading, elements that can reduce strength in the rigging system, and more.
