# SAFETY IN WOODS WORK

SAFETY IN WOODS WORK Produced: 1938 Description Contrasts proper and improper methods of felling trees and carrying hand tools (axes, spades, picks, etc.). Snag (deformed and diseased trees) is felled to illustrate safety principles. Brush is cleared from the area around the snag, a notch is axed in a tree to control the direction of fall, the tree is partially sawed, a wedge is driven into the cut, and the tree is then sawed through. https://catalog.archives.gov/id/7418
