Trimming- and pruning-related injuries in the United States, 1990 to 2007

Abstract: This is the first study to examine trimming- and pruning-related injuries in the United States using a nationally representative sample. The increasing number and rate of injuries associated with trimming activities in the United States underscore the need for increased prevention efforts, including enhanced safety features of trimming equipment and better education of equipment operators regarding the potential hazards of trimming activities.

“…The NEISS has demonstrated its unique nationally representative value for a variety of clinical issues. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] The NEISS database is publicly available and qualifies as nonhuman subject research. Therefore, institutional review board approval was not required.…”

For example, emergency department data show around 36 000 injures per year in the U.S. for tree trimming and pruning‐related activities, not including injuries from saws . Similar data from 2009 to 2013 estimate that around 23 000 treated injuries occur every year among consumers due to chain saws …”
