Wright Tree Service has launched a new safety training video, “Safety: Our Highest Priority.” The video highlights the Brother’s Keeper motto that guides the company’s focus on safety—its most important value. It reviews three main hazards employees will encounter on a jobsite and emphasizes the message that all injuries are preventable.

The video is targeted to new employees but was also intended to be useful for others in the industry and the public. Hazards illustrated in the video include contact with power lines or other energized conductors, falling trees and branches, and falling while working.

“This video is one more way to communicate our company’s, and our industry’s, commitment to the goal of zero injuries, zero incidents, and zero excuses,” said Wright Tree Service President and Chief Operating Officer, Will Nutter. “It has been very well received by our employees, and we hope it can also affect our clients, our competitors, partners, and the general public. There is always a place for new tools that promote the importance of safety.”

The video is available in both English and Spanish at www.wrighttree.com. Additional videos are planned. For more information, please contact Brescia Berg at 515-271-1104 or [email protected]
