SAFETY ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2018
By NEIL HARVEY
I am happy to report that there has only been one injury in the last year, that I am aware of. It was a grazed finger which required a band-aid and this was quickly applied.
A more notable safety concern related to a large dead tree and the radiata pine in the Reconciliation Garden. It was decided to cut the dead tree down because it was feared that sooner or later it would fall down. To do this we sought advice and help from a local resident, Ian Field, who was experienced in such work when he was a farmer. The tree was safely and successfully brought down and removed.
The radiata pine mentioned above dropped one of its limbs during windy weather in the winter months. The limb was significant enough to cause serious injury to anyone unfortunate enough to be hit by this falling limb. On inspection there were several limbs which looked suspect so I contacted ARTC in the hope that they could send a specialist out to deal with this. Subsequently an arborist was employed by ARTC to assess this tree to see if the whole tree had to be removed or if removing doubtful limbs was only required. The arborist opined that the tree was essentially safe but recommended that some limbs be removed. This was subsequently done in the first week of September. ARTC met this cost.
The Flugelman Sculpture is a prominent art exhibit in the Common. Frequently though, it has been noted that people often climb this sculpture and risk falling from it. Whilst we can’t always supervise what is happening on our grounds, which are open to the public, it was decided to warn people of the danger of climbing this structure. To this end a stencil has been applied in four places on the concrete base of the sculpture.
