The very first Arbor Day took place in Nebraska on April 10th, 1872. Since then, it has become a ...vital holiday to shed a light of hope for our future through the act of planting trees. While more than 1 million trees were planted on that day, planting just 1 today makes a difference for future generations tomorrow. 🌳

Join TCIA in urging Congress to include meaningful H-2B Visa cap relief in the Fiscal 2025 DHS ...appropriations bill. Without Congressional action, many tree care employers won’t be able to adequately serve all their customers. There are protections to ensure that H-2B workers don’t displace U.S. workers, and in fact these vetted seasonal workers help sustain upstream and downstream jobs.

Send a personal message to your Representative and urge they cosponsor H.R. 7574

Bill:

We forget that the one time we need PPE is when everything else has failed – it is your last ...defense from an injury. When working in proximity with overhead power lines, the climber or aerial-lift operator must wear a Class E helmet (ANSI Z89.1). This means whenever working within 10 feet of energized conductors, either secondary or primary overhead power lines. Class E helmets protect against impact injuries but also against electrical shock.

Not all aerial devices may be used in proximity – within 10 feet – of overhead power lines. Aerial devices that are not insulating are specifically labeled with this warning. This does not mean the labels are read or followed. Every year, tree workers are electrocuted when the basket of an uninsulated telehandler or portable lift touches an overhead powerline.
