Excerpt from Safety for Tree Workers Although an extremely small percent of the industrial accident record is chargeable to tree workers, since the number of tree work ers is comparatively small, the accident rate in this field is consider ably higher than the general industrial average per worker employed. This is evidenced by the high insurance rates that are required of commercial tree preservation organizations. At the end of the year the outlay for compensation is calculated, and several commercial tree preservation companies, which have found that safety pays, have enjoyed substantial rebates on their premiums as well as a more favorable basic rate for the next year.
