Tree Trimming Industry – Laceration Risks
In the tree trimming industry, your clients can suffer catastrophic injuries, like paralysis from a slip-and-fall or electrocution from coming into contact with a power line. However, your tree trimming clients can also suffer from smaller—but still dangerous—injuries, including lacerations.
A laceration is an injury that occurs when the skin is cut or torn. In tree trimming, lacerations can have many causes, including equipment injuries or contact with debris, like a sharp tree branch or thorns.
In many cases, laceration injuries in the tree trimming industry are minor and heal with minimal treatment. However, lacerations can lead to complications, including:
- Blood loss
- Permanent scarring
- Infections
- Nerve damage
- Tendon and ligament damage
In some cases, laceration injuries may also accompany a more severe injury type, like a broken bone or traumatic brain injury (TBI) after a fall from a ladder or an eye injury from coming into contact with a sharp branch or other object.
With lacerations risks like these, your clients in the tree trimming industry need strong Workers’ Compensation options.
