Tree Care Industry Association establishes alliance with OSHA

OSHA has joined in an Alliance with the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) to further safety and health for employees in the tree care industry. The Alliance, signed Nov. 10, will focus on providing TCIA members and others in the industry, including small businesses, with information, guidance and access to training resources with a particular focus on preventing exposure to tree removal, electrical, falls, and struck-by hazards.

Through the Alliance, OSHA and TCIA will work together to develop information on the recognition and prevention of workplace hazards and communicate that information throughout the industry. Information will be shared among OSHA personnel and industry safety and health professionals regarding TCIA’s best practices or effective approaches, and then publicized through OSHA- or TCIA-developed materials, training programs, workshops, seminars and lectures. The Alliance also provides opportunities for OSHA and TCIA professionals to speak, exhibit, or appear at various conferences or other events, including TCI EXPO, Certified Tree Care Safety Professional Workshops, Career Days and the Winter Management Conference. Both organizations will also develop and disseminate case studies illustrating the business value of safety and health.
