Chipper Machine Safety Tips Chipper machines cut tree limbs into small chips. Hazards arise when workers get too close to, or make contact with, the chipper. Contact with chipper operating components (blades, discs or knives) may result in amputation or death. Workers may also be injured by material thrown from the machine. To minimize these hazards, use appropriate engineering and work practice controls, including worker training. Hazards
