For Owners & Operators of Morbark
Brush Chippers
This special safety manual and the accompanying
video tape have been prepared for all owners and
operators of Morbark hand-fed brush and tree
chippers.
SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT.
Like all good things worth having, proper safety
training and operating procedures require effort,
commitment and concentration every minute of
every day.
Accidents don't just happen. They are caused by
people who made a mistake.
We strongly encourage you to review this informa-
tion immediately with all employees working with
and around your hand-fed brush chipper.
It is also imperative to review this information with
any new employees BEFORE they work with the
chipper.
We urge you to review these safety procedures
with your employees on a regular basis throughout
the year. Safety training is not a one-shot affair. It
requires your continuous commitment.
Over the life of the chipper, it is not unusual to have
as many as 20 or 30 different operators. Even
though we are aware of very few accidents, we are
concerned that some operators may not receive all
the proper training.
As a manufacturer, we have done everything
imaginable to design the safest machine possible to
protect the operator from harm.
