tree care safety standards

Tree care safety standards ensure that tree maintenance is performed safely for workers and the public. They include using proper personal protective equipment like helmets, gloves, and eye protection, and following guidelines for operating tools and machines. Proper planning involves assessing risks, such as unstable branches or nearby power lines, and establishing safe work zones. Certification and training ensure workers understand safe climbing, pruning, and removal techniques. Adhering to these standards minimizes accidents, injuries, and property damage while promoting efficient and professional tree care practices.
