Keep tree climbers motivated and trained by giving them an industry credential. This will help companies verify, according to OSHA and ANSI Z133 guidelines, that they have given safety training to all employees according to their job description.

It also helps to verify that tree care crews understand basic safety concepts required to climb trees safely and are qualified to be a tree climber for tree care companies.
