OSHA's Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on Tree Care Operations addressing tree care operations, including hazards, fatalities and control measures. The ANPR includes several questions for public comment related to current employer practices, along with tasks, tools, equipment, machines, vehicles, processes, controls and procedures involved in tree care operations. Additionally, OSHA requests comment on regulatory alternatives to reduce injuries and fatalities, as well as what requirements a standard addressing hazards in this industry should include and the potential costs and benefits of such a standard.
Comments must be submitted by Dec. 17, 2008. SCA, ISA, TCIA, and ASCA support the American National Standards Institute's Accredited Standards Committee's (Z133) standards. Any comments are recommended to support the Z133 standards. To submit a comment to OSHA, click here or contact TCIA.
