WesSpur offers a full selection of safety gear for tree climbers, including helmets, chainsaw chaps, hearing protection, first aid kits, gloves and more. A full compliment of safety gear shows your customers and employees that you are serious about doing the job right and preserving everyone's safety. Tree climbing injuries are very unforgiving, and a few dollars spent on safety gear and standards could prevent thousands in medical bills and lost productivity. Every climber should own and use at least a helmet, chaps, eye and hearing protection, and gloves.
The ISA has teamed up with business owner and ANSI to bring you the Z133 2006 safety standards for arboriculture operations. The 2006 ANSI standards should be required reading for every owner and operator of a tree company. The standards are very clear, and written to be practical and easy to put into place. The standards are the result of cooperation between top tree companies and bodies like the ISA so you can rely on this information to be field-tested and written with the best interests of the business owner and tree worker in mind.
