At Bartlett Tree Experts, our motto “Safety Above All Else” is taken to heart. When production crew members arrive at your property, they are wearing an average of seven pieces of personal protective equipment (PPE). Each piece of PPE ensures our teammates are protected from a known hazard of the job. These essential items keep our production crews safe throughout the workday. From hardhats and safety glasses down to Hi-Viz uniforms and proper footwear, we take issuing, maintaining, and requiring PPE seriously.
When employees begin their first day, they are issued PPE with care and use instructions. At morning Tailgate Safety Meetings, we discuss the need for PPE on every jobsite. Supervisors who perform crew inspections ensure not only that quality work is being performed, but that all PPE is working as well.
Bartlett Tree Experts understands that having comfortable PPE will improve our production crew members’ day. Bartlett has a subcommittee that researches new PPE and finds the best options for our crews, such as high-quality prescription safety glasses or more comfortable helmets. Local offices often support employees even further by equipping crews with new PPE technology such as Bluetooth communication systems, work pants with integrated chainsaw protection, and high-quality boots.
With “Safety Above All Else” as the Company’s driving force, you can rest assured that your Bartlett Tree Experts come equipped from head to toe for a safe workday!
