PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EOUIPMENT (PPE) FOR CONSULTING AND SALES ARBORISTS

摘要

What personal protective equipment (PPE) should consulting and sales arborists wear on ajobsite? The purpose of this article is to discuss, and to stimulate additional discussion about, appropriate PPE for consulting and sales arborists working in the United States. Credentialed arborists and those with supervisory responsibility should befamiliar with ANSI Z133-2012, the American National Standard for Arboricultural Operations - Safety Requirements (ISA 2012). It is often called, simply, "the Z." It is good practice, however, to refer to Z133 since other ANSI "Z" standards are also relevant to arboriculture (for example, ANSI Z60.1, for nursery stock, as described in Cullen and Buell 2015).
