- (1) The landing drop zone must be large enough for the longest logs to be landed without endangering the landing crew.
- (2) Landing crew must remain in the clear until the load is placed flat on the ground and chokers are released from the hook.
- (3) Landings must be constructed with minimal slope for drainage in the drop zone and a decking area to prevent logs from rolling.
- (4) The approach to the landing must be kept clear and long enough to prevent tree tops from being pulled into the landing.
- (5) Landing personnel must be notified when chokers are being picked up.
- (6) If the load will not release from the hook, the hook must be on the ground or at eye level, whichever is safer, before employees approach to release the hook manually.
