True/False: Head protection need only be worn while there are climbers in the trees:

  1. True

  2. False

  3. None of the above

  4. Cannot be determined

The correct answer is: False

Head protection is essential on any job site where there is a risk of falling objects, not just when climbers are in the trees. Even if climbers are not currently in the trees, there may still be other activities occurring, such as the use of equipment or the handling of materials that could pose a risk of head injury. Therefore, wearing head protection at all times while working in or around trees is a fundamental safety practice, aligning with safety regulations and best practices for arborists. This approach ensures that workers are protected against unexpected hazards, reinforcing a culture of safety on the job site.
