Felling Dangerous Trees

The main aim of fall Prevention in Australia is to reduce the risk of injury as a result of fall. The aim of this policy is to assist in forest clearing, prevent roadside accidents and improve public safety by preventing the adverse effects of timber harvesting on the environment, people, animals and vegetation. This aims at preventing the loss of heritage resources, livelihoods and public health and also protects the local environment. Fall Prevention minimises the risks from timber harvesting activities and encourages responsible forestry management.

One of the main issues with felling dangerous trees is that it may take longer for clearing the area than it would if the affected tree was not felled. This time taken is of course lost revenue for local businesses. This then impacts on the economic viability of the local economy. There are also legal implications that must be considered and as a result of felling dangerous trees the associated costs can quickly outweigh the cost of the felling process.

There are various felling procedures that can be undertaken when a tree is found to be potentially hazardous or poses a threat to public safety. These include using mechanical devices such as cranes or chainsaws to cut down the tree and other alternative felling methods which can be used when there is no other way to remove the tree safely. This may involve using high powered equipment such as saws or cranes and specialised tools like hammers or grinders. Another method of removal is known as felling chainsaw where the cutting blade is attached to a chain and the chain is then dragged through the shrub. In this instance, the use of an operative is required to secure the chain and the tree so that the blade does not damage the surrounding vegetation.

A wide range of felling procedures are used to remove dangerous trees. For felling outdoor trees, a crane is used to lower the felled tree safely to the ground. Once on the ground, specialized machines are used to cut the branch and remove it safely. If the felling procedure is undertaken by hand, specialist equipment is required so that the tree can be disposed of safely, including a pressure washer to clear away any fallen leaves or other debris from the area. A team of professionals will usually be sent out to take care of any felling procedure and they will make sure that the site is tidy and safe before leaving.

In terms of indoor felling, this method can be undertaken by a team of experienced technicians who specialise in felling indoor trees. This type of felling is very different to outdoor felling as the indoor tree is usually constructed inside a lab or other controlled environment with controlled access for staff and clientele. Indoor felling uses a number of felling processes including sand blasting, water jetting and laser treatment. Staff often use high-powered equipment in order to speed up the process of felling, which reduces the time spent on each job and makes the process safer for all parties.

Many people have their own views on felling and dispose of wood safely. Some people may not like the thought of anyone else taking care of their tree and may find it unsightly and invasive.
