Safe Tree Service

An Industry Leader in Safety — Safety Above All Else

Bartlett employees are trained to think and act safely from their first day on the job. The performance of safe tree care on a client's property is foremost in importance at Bartlett. This emphasis benefits our employees and ultimately our clients in terms of service and cost.

Focus on Prevention

Through our training programs, Bartlett has developed safe work practices designed to prevent accidents. Safety is a mental attitude that requires a conscious recognition of potential hazards and a knowledge of the proper techniques used to overcome potentially dangerous situations. These safety precautions are built into every task performed by our employees. A safe workplace for both the employee and the client is imperative.

Safety Guidelines and Regulations

Bartlett has helped develop industry standards for safe tree care operations. These guidelines provide safety standards for workers engaged in pruning, repairing, maintaining, or removing trees. ANSI, CSA, and EU standards are the recognized safety standards for tree care throughout the world. Bartlett adheres to all the safety requirements in the U.S., England, Ireland, and Canada. Our company shares similar goals with OSHA (U.S.), OHSA (Canada), and HSE (England and Ireland) to reduce occupational injury. Bartlett's reputation among these agencies is excellent.
