7. Felling a tree
1. When bucking and felling operations are being performed by two or more
persons at the same time, the felling operations should be separated from
the bucking operation by a distance of at least twice the height of the tree
being felled. Trees should not be felled in a manner that would endanger any
person, strike any utility line or cause any property damage. If the tree does
make contact with any utility line, the company should be notified
immediately.
2. The product operator should keep on the uphill side of the terrain as the tree
is likely to roll or slide downhill after it is felled.
