    Workshop Description:
    Electricity is a serious and widespread hazard to arborists. In fact, electricity causes about 30 percent of all fatalities in the tree care industry, making it the leading cause of worker fatalities.

    La electricidad es un peligro extendido y serio para los arboristas. De hecho, la electricidad causa cerca del 30 por ciento de todas las muertes en la industria del cuidado de árbol, convirtiéndola en la causa principal de mortandad en los trabajadores.

    Since even a street lamp circuit or phone line can be energized with enough voltage to kill, almost all arborists in the field have at least some exposure to this hazard. In fact, workers don't even have to touch a wire to be electrocuted - about half of all electrocution fatalities are the result of indirect contact. Tree branches and other conductive objects are an ever-present threat for the industry.

    Puesto que aún un circuito de farol de calle o una línea telefónica puede estar energizado con voltaje suficiente para matar, casi todos los arboristas en el campo tienen al menos alguna exposición a este peligro. De hecho, los trabajadores ni siquiera tienen que tocar un alambre para ser electrocutados – cerca de la mitad de todas las mortandades por electrocución ocurren como resultado de contacto indirecto. Las ramas de árbol y otros objetos conductores son un peligro siempre presente para la industria. 
      
    All arborists must be trained to recognize and avoid these electrical hazards.  Qualified line-clearance arborists must have additional knowledge about electrical hazards and the special techniques used to work safely near electrical conductors.

    Todos los arboristas deben ser entrenados para reconocer y evitar estos peligros eléctricos. Los arboristas calificados de limpieza de línea tienen conocimiento adicional acerca de los peligros eléctricos y las técnicas especiales usadas para trabajar con seguridad cerca de los conductores eléctricos
     
    TCIA was recently awarded a federal grant in the amount of $137,532 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

    TCIA recibió recientemente un subsidio federal por la cantidad de $137,532 de la Administración de Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional (OSHA por siglas en inglés).

    The grant, SH29645SH6, was awarded through the Susan Harwood Training Grant Program, which provides funding for nonprofit organizations to conduct in-person, hands-on training and educational programs for employers and workers on the recognition, avoidance and prevention of safety and health hazards in their workplaces.

    El subsidio, SH29645SH6, fue otorgado a través del Programa de Subsidios para Entrenamiento Susan Harwood, el cual provee fondos para que organizaciones sin fines de lucros conduzcan programas de entrenamiento y educacionales en persona, prácticos, para patrones y trabajadores acerca de reconocer, evitar, y prevenir los peligros de seguridad y salud en sus lugares de trabajo.
