[QUOTE="outofmytree, post: 1567647, member: 33185"] Great idea untill you take of the gloves because they are hot or to untie a knot or pick your nose! In the heirarchy of control of hazards ppe is the last solution. A far better solution is to ensure two people operate a chipper at all times. Not one in the bucket and one on the chipper. Do you think that 1 extra groundie is costly? Try telling this guys wife and kids that Daddy isnt coming home from work ever again. I run the company and its my pocket that the extra wages come from. My policy is simple. No one gets hurt and nothing gets broken. Oh and no one ever works alone. Is this expensive? Perhaps. But I can sleep at nights and so can my crew. [/QUOTE]
