ELECTRICITY IS A SERIOUS AND WIDESPREAD HAZARD TO THE ARBORIST:



Electricity is a leading cause of worker fatalities in the tree care industry.
Almost all arborists in the field have some exposure to an electrical hazard.
About half of all electrocution fatalities are the result of indirect contact – you don’t even
have to touch a wire to be electrocuted.
WHY EHAP?


ANSI Z133 safety standards for arboricultural operations require all employees to be trained
to recognize electrical hazards. The OSHA 1910.269 safety standard requires employers to
certify that all employees working within 10 feet of electrical conductors be trained in the
special hazards involved in such work, and verify through documented, on-the-job training
that employees have the skills necessary to perform line-clearance tasks safely.
The EHAP Program can be used along with documented on-the-job skills training and
assessment to both assure the competency of employees to work safely around conductors
and meet ANSI and OSHA requirements.
