To work within ten feet of any electrical line requires passing the Electrical Hazard Awareness Program. All Treemaster crew members have completed this rigorous training that meets all OSHA and ANSI standards for safe work practices near electrical hazards. Our arborists also receive continuing education training each year to ensure the ongoing safety of our customers and employees.
In tree work, safety is everything! A CTSP (Certified Tree Safety Professional) goes beyond what a typical safety trainer does. They act as a safety coach, developing strategies to foster a culture of safety within the company. The CTSP program equips them with a comprehensive understanding of safety concepts and the skills to communicate these effectively. By employing a CTSP, we ensure our rigorous safety program prioritizes the well-being of our arborists, your property, and your neighbors’ property.
Every member of the Treemaster crew is trained with the American Heart Association Heartsaver First Aid & CPR course as well as aerial rescue.
