Welcome to the UGA Saw Safety Series

Danger never takes a vacation:

Great Video?


Greetings! Welcome to Saw Safety, a weekly newsletter of safety tips brought to you by the UGA Saw Safety Team. This newsletter is for professionals in tree care and landscape, men and women who put a saw in wood. One tip per week, short and sweet, easy to share, perfect for a tailgate meeting.
