Gogol-xaar cusub oo loo codsaday ka dib markii nin lagu dhacay keniisad Buddhist ah

Baaraha geerida ayaa ku tilmaamay dhacdada mid laga fogaan karay oo ay sabab u tahay tababar la'aanta

Baaraha gobolka Tasmania ayaa ku taliyay in la adkeeyo qawaaniinta goynta geedaha ee dadweynaha kadib geeridii nin dhacay 2023. Ninkii 63-jirka ahaa ee kalkaaliye caafimaad ah ayaa lagu dhacay geed wattle ah oo laga jarayay keniisad Buddhist ah.

Dhacdada geerida iyo natiijada baaritaanka

Bishii Noofambar 2023, LO wuxuu booqday hanti ku taal bariga waqooyi ee Tasmania oo ahayd keniisad Buddhist ah oo uu mararka qaar u tagi jiray fekerka. Wuxuu joogay inuu gooyo geed black wattle ah oo dhererkiisu yahay 18-mitir oo ahaa mid 'weyn oo qalloocan'.

Baaraha Leigh Mackey ayaa sheegtay in LO uu ahaa qof 'taxadar badan oo qorsheeyaha ah' oo khibrad 'muhiim ah' u leh isticmaalka miinshaarta dhulkiisa Gunns Plains, qiyaastii 140km waqooyi-galbeed ee Launceston. Geerida waxaa loo arkay shil.

Qiimeynta baaraha iyo sababaha geerida

Baaraha ayaa ku sheegay in 'xaaladaha LO ee dhimashadiisu muujinayaan in goynta geedahu ay khatar tahay oo aan la saadaalin karin' iyo in 'kuwa leh tababar gaar ah oo xirfad u leh goynta geedaha kaliya ay hawlahaas qaadan shaadiyaan'. Wuxuu geerida ku tilmaamay mid 'la fogaan karay'.

Baaraha ayaa xaqiijiyay in geedku uu LO saaray sababtoo ah 'si aan la saadaalin karin ayuu u dhacay xilligiisa ama jihadiisa'. Wuxuu xidhiidhiyay tababar la'aanta, isagoo leh 'mid ka mid ah sababaha uu Coroner Cooper ku arkay dhimashadaas waa tababar la'aanta'.

Talooyinka iyo xaaladda qawaaniinta

Baaraha Leigh Mackey wuxuu ku taliyay dawladda Tasmania inay 'baarto oo hirgeliso nidaaminta hawliga goynta geedaha ee gaarka ah', gaar ahaan tababarka. Talooyin la mid ah ayaa la bixiyay 2017 kadib dhimashadii lix nin, laakiin midna lama hirgelin muddo sagaal sano ah.

Dawladda gobolka ayaa lala xiriiriyay haddii ay faallo bixinayso. Talooyinka cusub waxay ku darayaan wacyigelin dadweynaha khatarta goynta geedaha ee aysan tababar gaar ah u lahayn.

A Tasmanian coroner has urged the government to introduce tighter controls on private tree felling after a 63-year-old retired nurse was crushed to death while cutting down a tree at a Buddhist monastery in November 2023.

Retired Nurse Crushed While Felling Tree at Monastery

On November 23, 2023, a 63-year-old retired nurse known as LO visited a rural property in Tasmania's Great Western Tiers region that operated as a Buddhist monastery, where he sometimes went for meditation. On this occasion, he was there to cut down an 18-metre black wattle tree described as 'large and twisted'.

Although LO was usually a 'cautious and meticulous planner' with 'significant experience' using a chainsaw on his own property at Gunns Plains, about 140km north-west of Launceston, the tree fell 'unpredictably' in timing or direction. He was wearing a hard hat and safety goggles, but the head of the tree struck his back, crushing him.

Coroner Finds Death 'Avoidable' and Calls for Training

Coroner Leigh Mackey found the death was an accident and deemed it 'avoidable', with the 'absence of training' a contributing factor. She wrote that 'the circumstances of LO's death highlight that felling trees is dangerous and unpredictable' and that 'only those that possess specific training and expertise in the skill of tree felling ought to undertake the task'.

The coroner recommended the Tasmanian government 'investigate and implement regulating private tree felling activities', particularly with regard to training. She also recommended increasing public awareness of the dangers of tree felling 'by those who lack specialised training'.

Unimplemented Recommendations from 2017 Raise Concerns

The coroner's recommendations come almost a decade after a raft of coronial recommendations were made in 2017 following the deaths of six men, all of whom died while privately felling trees. Coroner Cooper had identified the 'absence of training' as a common factor and made recommendations directed toward the training and accreditation of private operators of chainsaws.

However, 'none of the recommendations have been adopted in the nine years since they were made'. Magistrate Mackey's report highlights the ongoing failure to act on previous safety advice, renewing calls for government intervention in private tree felling practices.
