Safety First

At Arborwell safety always come first. We have built a culture of safety in our company making it imperative that safety is first and foremost in everything we do.  The company has 6 employees certified by Treecare Industry Association in treecare safety. Our programs include not only attention to personal safety, but also damage to personal property. Both require careful thought out procedures and responsibility of action. Safety programs include weekly tailgate meetings for every crew member, quarterly testing, and monetary incentive programs for safety compliance and are a commitment to the safety of our customers, property and our employees.

The success of our program is evident by our experience modification factor as determined by our workers compensation insurance carrier, which as been set at 85% for the year 2006 based on our past history (well below our industry standard). Arborwell adheres to all Cal-OSHA requirements, TCIA (Tree Care Industry Association) mandated programs, and maintains a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program.  We maintain $7 million of general liability coverage as well as workers compensation coverage.
