Logging Industry – Stump Harvesting Injuries
In the logging industry, stump harvesting is a key task. Stump harvesting is the process of extracting the stumps left behind after a tree is harvested or removed. Stump harvesting prevents the regrowth of new trees, plus allows the land to be cleared or reclaimed for other purposes. It’s also important for safety, as left behind tree stumps can pose hazards to people in the area.
To harvest stumps, workers in the logging industry use specialized tools like stumps grinders or stump cutters. If their machinery is not properly maintained or safely used, stump harvesting tools can lead to a variety of injuries. These include:
- Cuts and lacerations
- Traumatic amputations
- Eye injuries from flying wood chips or other debris
- Hearing loss and other ear injuries, like tinnitus
- Repetitive motion injuries
For your clients in the logging industry, stump harvesting safety is very important. To protect their business and workers, your logging clients should take steps like regular equipment maintenance and employee safety training to reduce the risk of lacerations, eye injuries, and other accidents and injuries associated with stump harvesting processes and tools.
They should also offer strong Workers’ Compensation coverage to protect their business and employees. However, since common logging processes can lead to injuries and accident, it is often difficult for businesses in the logging industry to find the right coverage.
