What Safety Standards Should I Expect From a Professional Tree Care Company in Calgary?

Tree care is one of the most hazardous professions in the trades. Between chainsaws, climbing, heavy branches, and proximity to power lines, there’s no room for error. At Evergreen LTD, we treat safety as a core value that drives every decision we make on the job.


If you're hiring a Calgary arborist, you need to know they’re not just skilled, but safety-minded. Here’s how Evergreen LTD sets the bar high with our safety-first culture, built on our Three Pillars of Safety: Awareness, Assertiveness, and Accountability.


1. Awareness: Site Assessments Start Every Job

Before we lift a saw or climb a tree, our ISA-certified arborists visit your property to evaluate the risks.


What we assess:

  • Tree health and structural stability

  • Terrain issues like slopes, holes, or soft ground

  • Proximity to structures, fences, and utility lines

  • Wildlife or insect risks (like wasp nests)

  • Traffic or pedestrian interference


From this, we create a hazard report, which becomes a living document. It’s updated throughout the job to reflect real-time conditions. Our goal is to spot risks before they become problems.


On job day:

  • The crew lead holds a site-wide safety briefing

  • Every crew member contributes new observations

  • Everyone aligns on safety protocols for the day


This culture of awareness helps prevent avoidable accidents—and keeps your property and our team safe.


2. Assertiveness: Every Voice Matters

Safety is everyone’s job at Evergreen LTD, not just the crew leader’s. We empower our team members to speak up—whether they’ve been on the job for 10 years or 10 days.


What this looks like in action:

  • A new crew member points out an overlooked hanging branch

  • A ground tech questions the stability of a ladder placement

  • Someone calls a pause to reassess changing wind conditions


When everyone has the authority to stop work and call attention to a concern, we’re safer, smarter, and faster. Our crews don’t wait to report problems—they act on them in real time.

3. Accountability: Safety Is a Company-Wide Commitment

From the field to the office, safety is integrated into every role at Evergreen LTD. It’s measured, reviewed, and acted on constantly.


What accountability means at Evergreen:

  • Our CEO is involved in safety planning and audits

  • Safety metrics are part of employee performance reviews

  • Regular training keeps crews up to date on ISA best practices

  • Internal reviews ensure safety procedures are followed


We hold each other to the highest standards—because your property, our people, and the community depend on it.


Why This Matters for Calgary Homeowners and Businesses

Tree care without proper safety protocols is irresponsible. You don’t want uninsured or undertrained workers operating dangerous equipment near your home, business, or customers.


  • Prioritizes safety before, during, and after every job

  • Employs certified arborists trained to recognize and manage hazards

  • Communicates openly and acts proactively to prevent accidents


Trust the Safe Choice in Tree Care

Whether it’s tree removal, pruning, or storm cleanup, choose a company that puts safety first—because doing the job right means doing it safely.
