Wright Tree Service Safety Training Video Series Complete
Wright Tree Service has a series of safety training videos on the three main hazards employees will encounter on a jobsite. The goal of the three main hazards video series is to encourage safe work practices and emphasize the importance of safety in the utility vegetation management industry.
These videos are targeted to new employees at Wright Tree Service but are also intended to be useful for all employees as well as others in the utility vegetation management industry and the general public.
Our goal at Wright Tree Service is to continue educating employees and promoting safe and productive crews. To continue putting a strong emphasis on our company’s number one value of safety, the company plans to release additional safety training videos each year. All Wright Tree Service safety training videos can be found in both English and Spanish at www.wrighttree.com/safetyvideos.
