Did you know that tree work is one of the most dangerous professions?—nearly ten times as hazardous as police or firefighting.
While logging is recognized as one of the top three most dangerous industries, arborists often operate under similar risks without the same level of recognition. Every day, tree crews navigate unstable trees, unpredictable environments, and high-powered equipment, all while working near homes, power lines, and roadways.
CTSP Tree Service In Southeast Michigan
At Momentum Tree Experts, safety isn’t just a guideline—it’s embedded into every aspect of how we operate. From the moment we step onto a property to the final cleanup, every decision is made with the well-being of our team, our clients, and their property in mind.
Most tree services will say they “prioritize safety.” But real safety isn’t just about following a checklist—it’s about creating a culture where every decision is made with :
- Awareness
- Training
- Accountability
That’s what the Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP) credential is all about.
A CTSP isn’t just someone who knows safety procedures; they are trained to actively lead, educate, and implement a higher standard of safety within a company. This means continuously improving how crews approach risk, making sure training isn’t just something done once but an ongoing process, and ensuring that safety isn’t reactive—it’s proactive.
At Momentum Tree Experts, this credential isn’t just another certification—it’s a direct reflection of our commitment to protecting both our team and our clients. Having a CTSP on staff means we invest in more than just training; we invest in a mindset where every crew member understands that safety isn’t optional. It’s the foundation of how we work.
Every day, our tree care team operates in unpredictable environments!
Unstable trees, heavy equipment, high-risk rigging, and hazardous conditions near homes, power lines, and roadways. The presence of a CTSP ensures that every one of these variables is accounted for long before a single cut is made. It means that job briefings are thorough, that every piece of personal protective equipment is worn correctly, that our communication systems are clear, and that the unexpected is planned for before it happens.
For homeowners, this isn’t just about hiring a company that “follows the rules.” It’s about knowing that the professionals working on your property have already factored in every possible risk before they even start. It’s about preventing costly mistakes before they happen, reducing the likelihood of accidents, and ensuring that your property and the people working on it are protected at every step.
A Higher Tree Service Standard
There’s a reason tree work is nearly ten times as dangerous as firefighting or law enforcement. The difference between a job done safely and a job that simply doesn’t go wrong by luck comes down to preparation, training, and leadership. That’s why we go further than the bare minimum. That’s why we hold ourselves to a higher standard. And that’s why safety at Momentum Tree Experts isn’t just a priority—it’s who we are.
The companies we support shape the standards of the industry. Choosing a tree care provider that values safety isn’t just about protecting your property—it’s about supporting a culture that ensures every worker and homeowner stays safe, now and in the future.
At Momentum Tree Experts, safety isn’t just a policy—it’s a responsibility we take seriously every day, on every job, for every client.
