Tree care is one of the most dangerous professions in the world. Every day we take risks to perform our job. Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc can provide your employees with the necessary training to deal with the risk associated with tree care. We offer a variety of training programs.

CPR and First Aid*

If a serious accident occurs on a job site or in your office, do your employees know what to do? Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc can provide all your employees with proper CPR and first-aid training. Using the Coyne™ first-aid training program, certified instructors will teach your employees to:

• Properly assess an area before attempting to render aid
• Deal with an injury such as a cut, break, or burn
• Administer CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation)

* Required by MOSH

MOSH Compliance

The time to find out if you are within MOSH compliance is not when you are dealing with an inspection or an accident. Representatives of Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc took part in helping MOSH write the new standards. Through the training program, you will learn what is needed to ensure you are compliant with the new laws and avoid any unnecessary fines.

Chipper Safety

When a new employee comes to work, usually the first thing that is taught to them is how to use a chipper. There have been hundreds of deaths within the tree care industry associated with chippers. In cooperation with TCIA, Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc will provide training using the chipper operator specialist program. Your employees will learn how to operate and maintain a chipper properly.

Aerial Rescue

If the time arrives that an employee is needing to be rescued from a tree, will the people on the ground know how to react? Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc can provide the latest aerial rescue techniques to ensure your employees will be able to handle the situation properly. We use the TCIA aerial rescue program and are certified instructors.

EHAP**

The Electrical Hazardous Awareness Program was created by TCIA to make tree workers aware of the hazards associated with working near electrical conductors. Far too often fatalities have resulted because an untrained employee made direct or indirect contact with an electric line. Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc will provide training using the EHAP program provided by TCIA to ensure employees get the necessary training to stay safe when in proximity to electrical conductors.

**This is not a Line Clearance Certification Program.

Specialized equipment can be costly if it is not needed on a regular basis but can also increase safety and profitability on the job. Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc offers the following subcontracted services. Please note, we are available to price jobs upon request.

Crane Rental

Tree removal is always a difficult task. Utilizing a crane reduces the impact on the surrounding landscape. Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc has a 38-ton crane with an NCCCO operator who has experience in tree removal as a former climber and certified arborist. Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc will inspect potential sites upon request to ensure crane use is possible.

Risk Assessment

Deciding whether or not a tree is safe requires skill and the appropriate equipment. Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc has the ability to inspect a tree and give a risk rating that is both qualitative and quantitative. Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc uses a Resistograph® to determine the amount of wood decay within a tree. Once readings are acquired, the info is plugged into an equation, and a risk rating is given based on the final number.

Wood Pickup

Whenever there is wood that needs to be picked up, Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc has the necessary equipment to get it done for you. Reasonably priced, you can have wood hauled out in lengths rather than having to cut it up and loaded into a truck by hand.

Plant Health Care

Every property has the potential for plant health care services. Mead Tree & Turf Care Inc has all the necessary skills and equipment to provide plant health care services at a very competitive rate. This allows you to offer services such as IPM, target sprays, macro-injections, microinjections, compost tea and full turf services, vertical mulching, root collar excavations, and more.
