Safety for Tree Nursery Operations

On this site there has been put together a manual and PowerPoint presentation that tree nurseries can use in a safety program for their employees.  Included are forms so that an operation can personalize it with their specific information (who to contact in case of injury, etc.).

It includes the publication "Manager's Toolkit for Creating a Safety Program for your Tree Nursery Operation" (PDF) and "Safety Policies and Procedures for a Tree Nursery Operation" (PPT). Also linked are NIOSH incident reports that can be used as examples in training.
