Overview
What this RAVS document does
Tree care work combines climbing, chainsaws, chippers, falling limbs, and often nearby power lines. Hiring clients require a tree care answer because the hazards stack up quickly and the consequences are severe.
This document states your company's tree care operations program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: safe climbing and aerial work, chainsaw and chipper safety, falling-object and drop-zone control, working near power lines, and worker competency. Each point ties back to Alberta OHS legislation. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- Chainsaw, chipper, and equipment safety

Practical guidance
How to pass the tree care review the first time
- Keep the answer Alberta-specific. The document reflects Alberta OHS legislation, the framework ISNetworld reviewers expect for Alberta work.
- Cover power lines. A reviewer wants tree work near energized lines addressed - it is one of the deadliest hazards in the trade.
- Address the drop zone. The RAVS describes falling-object and drop-zone control. Keeping workers and the public clear of falling limbs is central to tree care safety.
