January\'s numbers

So far in January, we have had at least 5 fatalities, 3 serious injuries with one worker needed to be rescued. This is from TCIA's calendar.

And those are the reported accidents/deaths. I'd like to know the unreported stuff too.

Yesterday at our Arborist's workshop, I was shocked to hear the chipper fatality numbers presented by Dr Ball.

One every 2 weeks or 26 average per year. Thats the US only.
