Cold Weather-Downed Trees

Severe winter weather often leads to downed trees:

• Downed trees can block public roads and damage power lines
• Emergency crews are sent out to clear downed trees during a winter storm-give them room to work
• Proper PPE should be worn by workers clearing downed trees and power lines
• When clearing your own yard be sure to use power equipment  designed to be designed to be used outdoors in wet conditions
