Tree work is rated as the third most dangerous profession, right behind crab fishing and logging. Selecting the right tree care company is a serious decision, as there are no licensing laws that regulate or monitor safety practices in this industry. Consumers must be careful to differentiate between companies that invest in a deeply-rooted culture of safety and those that offer low prices at the cost of inappropriate risk to their employees and clients.
Arborguard’s approach to safety stresses meticulous analysis and repetitive execution of all safety procedures. With the leadership of our in-house Certified Treecare Safety Professionals, we adhere to standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), offer First Aid/CPR certification for all employees, proudly maintain our Georgia Certified Drug- Free Workplace status, hold weekly safety meetings, perform safety inspections before beginning each job, practice mock aerial rescues and our in-house emergency action plan, and more.
This intense level of safety training takes both time and money, but we are proud to make the investment. Eliminating risk for our employees and our clients is a passionate and endless pursuit that drives every move we make – and that’s no accident!
