Ground Operations and Aerial Support This seminar is designed to educate ground personnel in the important role in overall job site safety and crew efficiency. In addition to clean up and debris management using chippers and stump grinders, ground personnel are responsible for assisting climbers and/or bucket operators in technical rigging, tree removal, or tree pruning operations. A strong focus on risk management, safe and ergonomic work practices will be demonstrated. This seminar will offer insight to each crew member, no matter their role, in how to work as a team safely and efficiently.
Recommendations: Both ground personnel and climbers should attend.
