a tree climber get hurt today

the tree climber gets hurt taking a dead tree down today in Mooresville North Carolina he was on the ground makeing a cut when log rolled on to him an a groundman cut his this same tree company called won't me to climb for them what would you do
 
Sounds like that company is down a climber and they want treeman1640 to fill in at least for now. The problem is he's not sure if they're a safety conscious crew that he would feel comfortable working with.

My thoughts are maybe this tree went right fubar and things went sideways and someone got hurt, maybe it's the first major problem they've ever had or maybe they are more know for having frequent accidents, I don't know.

If you really are nervous about them as a company pass it by politely and live to fight another day. On the other hand you could go out and give it a shot they may turn out great and with your head in the game it could be an awesome endeavour.
You always have the right to refuse unsafe work, that's an actual law, and if they really make your head spin and you feel in jeopardy you just grab your saddle, say thanks and walk away with your 2 feet and a heart beat still in tow.

If they aren't just hacks that would harm your reputation or safety what's one day to try it out and see that's really the only way to know.
 
A buddy of mine, an ex-feller from BC, always says, there's two sides to the log, the hospital side and the funeral side. Figure out which one is which before cutting.

I worked for a company that I thought might change there ways with someone who operated more safely on the crew. Nope, any suggestion was met with a look of derision and scorn.
