Tree Care Accidents, Injuries, and Deaths – Lessons learned from 2009 presented by Paul M. Mautz, CTSP.
Everyone agrees that safety is imperative. And yet serious accidents continue to plague our industry. Join us for a month-by-month view of the accidents that have occurred in the Tree Care Industry in 2009. We will review the types of accidents we are experiencing in the field, and why the same accidents are repeating year-after-year. Most importantly, we’ll also look at preventive measures, and the steps we need to take to stop these avoidable accidents. Until we all take responsibility for safety, our own and our coworkers, these accidents will continue. This webinar will create the awareness needed to begin shaping behaviors and attitudes that will create a culture of safety in your workplace. The payoff is immediate and measurable in terms of fewer accidents, reduced employee turnover, decreased risk to your business and greater profitability.
In addition, we will review of the “2009 Homeowner Accidents” among those attempting their own tree work.
