Certain jobs can be more dangerous than others. But even for those who work with heavy machinery, at elevated heights, or with hazardous products, no job should threaten the life of an employee. Tree trimming can been deadly in Southern California, and whether trimmers and gardeners are employed privately or by the city or municipality, workers have rights if they have been hurt. A San Diego tree trimmer was injured after getting trapped by palm fronds this past week, and (as blogged on earlier) an Inglewood tree trimmer died last year after he fell into a word chipper.

The San Diego incident occurred at a private residence as the trimmer was cutting a palm tree. The 40-year old worker suffered lacerations from the incident. Thankfully he was working with a partner who called the fire department for help. The firemen were able to rescue the tree trimmer who was buried under the palm fronds 40 feet up in the air, held their by the fronds and his safety line. In similar situations, the trimmer can suffocate and die under the vegetation, trapped by the leaves and the safety line. Learn more about workplace accidents and who is to blame at www.alawpro.com.
