Aerial Rescue Training Workshop

Black Diamond Tree Service received a grant from the Arborist Safety Training Institute (ASTI) to host an upcoming Aerial Rescue training workshop in West Dover, VT on Thursday, October 25, 2018. If you are a tree care worker, please join Black Diamond Tree Service for this important training. The cost is free but space is limited. Matt Carruthers from North American Training Solutions will provide the instruction.

When a tree care worker is injured or incapacitated aloft, typically fellow crew members are the first to respond to an emergency and tree care professionals must know how to react.

The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) Aerial Rescue Training Program helps you protect your workers and meet the aerial rescue training requirements mandated by ANSI Z133.1 and OSHA. This certificate program is designed to be used in combination with on-the-job training and practice, so that crews have the knowledge and skills needed to evaluate an emergency situation and potentially rescue an injured tree worker.

This course focuses on the importance of Emergency Action Planning (EAP) and emergency preparedness protocols in a high angle environment.

ASTI which was launched by the Tree Care Industry Association Foundation (TCIAF) in 2013, provides grants for job and safety training to minimize consequent deaths and injuries, and promote overall workforce safety that is critical for the tree care industry.
