Completing Seattle tree pruning safely requires a constant focus on training and improving safety standards.
For two days earlier this summer, the teams from Blooma Tree Experts and Out on a Limb Tree Co worked together to hone existing safety protocols and learn and develop new skills.
We brought in internationally-recognized safety trainer Phil Kelley of Rowen Tree Training lead the two day workshop.
The day started with gear inspection. Climbing Arborists utilize a lot of gear. Their gear sees heavy use every working day. Weather, tree sap, metal fatigue and damage are all concerns.
Climbing saddles, carabiners and ropes are life support systems and are crucial tools of this skilled trade. It is typical a lot of rope is taken out of service.
For safety reasons, all the rope in this pile was decommissioned.
Kaustubh Deo, owner of Blooma Tree Experts and Out on a Limb is focused on continuing to build on the existing safety culture. Kaustubh (“KD”) is proud to support the crew to access this high level training, and also to build connections and continue with personal growth.
