How many people in the Arboricultural Profession would like
to be able to learn from the mistakes of others? Please let
me know if anyone else feels that we could all learn from
hearing about incidents, accidents, and near misses from
others in the profession.
Currently, information about accidents is often kept secret.
I think that we could all benefit from an anonymous accident
page on the ISA website.
People need not include their company name, if they did not
want to, but it would be helpful to hear what happened, and
how it could have been prevented.

Please let me know what you feel about this. I think
that we could learn a lot this way and maybe even save a
life or two.

Thanks,

Tim Walsh
