such as dense fog, heavy rain, strong
wind, intense cold, etc. Working in bad

risks, such as icy ground, unpredictable
felling direction, etc.

Check the area around you for possible ob-
stacles (roots, rocks, branches, ditches,
etc.) in case you have to move suddenly .
Take great care when working on sloping
ground.

another area.
