At Monster Tree Service we care about you, and we will work diligently to ensure your safety. Tree work is hazardous but does not have to be dangerous.

Each employee receives chain saw pants, safety helmet, earmuffs, eye protection and gloves. We have Safety Tailgate meetings every Monday, Continuous Improvement conversations on Wednesday, and a Gear Check every Friday.

We will embrace a teachable attitude believing that learning is just as important as knowing.
We will show up on time, prepared, and ready for work every day. We will be responsible for our words and actions. We will seek to understand the role we played when mistakes happen.
