Tree care is one of the most dangerous occupations in the U.S. The pattern is consistent.
"This isn't about compliance paperwork. It's about the worker who goes home."
When OSHA shows up — or when an incident happens — the question isn't whether you care about safety. It's whether you can prove it. Documented, standards-based training is the difference between a defensible record and an exposed liability.
The difference between a defensible incident and an exposed liability is often documentation.
| Situation | Without Tree Safety Institute | With Tree Safety Institute |
|---|---|---|
| New hire on a bucket truck | No record they were trained on aerial devices | Z133-5.2 certification on file, expiration tracked |
| Chainsaw laceration incident | Can't show corrective training was assigned | Incident → recommended Z133-6 training, one-click assign |
| OSHA inspector arrives | Scrambling to find paper records | Full audit-ready dashboard, certs verifiable by code |
| Foreman asks "is everyone current?" | Unknown until it's too late | Compliance badge on every crew member's name in JHA |
Purpose-built for tree service operations — not adapted from generic training software.
Every course maps directly to specific Z133 clauses — not generic "safety topics." Know exactly which standard requirement each employee has completed.
Structured safety modules employees complete on any device. Each course includes knowledge checks and a scored final quiz before certification.
Certificates issued automatically on course completion. Expiration alerts fire 30 days before lapse — before it becomes a compliance gap.
Real-time view of your entire team's training status. See who's current, who's overdue, and which certifications are expiring — at a glance.

From owner-operators to safety consultants — real companies using Tree Safety Institute to protect their crews and their business.
An OSHA inspector showed up unannounced. I handed him a full report of every certification, every completed course, and every toolbox talk. He was done in 20 minutes. We walked away with a clean record.
It's been 18 months since our last chainsaw-related claim. The ROI is undeniable.
I used Tree Safety Institute records to answer a 20-page DOT pre-qualification. We got the contract. The platform paid for itself on day one.
For $79 a month, it's the cheapest insurance I've ever bought.
Safety training shouldn't be paywalled. Core training and OSHA reporting are free — forever.
Most companies switch to Pro after their first audit or incident.
Other platforms teach "safety." We teach the specific standard that governs your work.
When an OSHA inspector asks what standard your training was based on, "general safety principles" isn't an answer. Z133 is the specific standard they reference for tree care operations — and every Tree Safety Institute course cites the exact clause it covers, so your documentation speaks their language.
Deep, clause-level curricula built for arboricultural operations, paired with pre-job hazard analysis and Z133-aligned toolbox talks.
The national standard for tree care operations. Every module cites the exact Z133 clause it addresses — so your documentation connects directly to the standard OSHA references.
Pre-job documentation and field-ready safety discussions for use at the truck before work starts. Toolbox talks are Z133-aligned and link directly to active certifications and open JHAs — so your crew arrives informed, not just present.
Qualification training for arborists working in electrical transmission and distribution rights-of-way. Covers the specific hazards and procedures that separate line-clearance work from general arboriculture.
Emergency response procedures specific to arboricultural operations. Rescue, first aid, and incident management for field crews — so every worker knows what to do when something goes wrong.
From the crew to the office, every role has a place in the platform.
Protect your business from liability. Demonstrate standards-based training to clients, insurers, and inspectors — before they ask.
