Rancho Mesa recently added 60 new tree care-specific toolbox talks to its SafetyOne™ platform.

The topics were added to support the agency’s growing tree care clients and help improve safety while on the jobsite.

“Part of how we provide the best level of service to our clients is by listening to their suggestions and needs,” said Brenda Khalil, Client Technology Coordinator with Rancho Mesa. “One way we do this is by providing additional resources through our SafetyOne™ Platform. We recently added tree-specific toolbox talks for our clients, and continue to build onto this extensive library of topics. Our goal is to consistently modify and update the resources we provide, to ensure each client is given the necessary tools to maintain a safe work environment.”

Rancho Mesa worked with both clients and subject matter experts to develop a comprehensive library of tree care toolbox talks that includes everything from aerial lift safety to proper use of wood chippers, and everything in between.

The 60 new toolbox talks are available in both English and Spanish, and are designed to offer a full year’s worth of safety meeting topics for tree care companies, plus a few additional options.

“We are excited to continue to support the tree care industry with these toolbox talks,” said Rory Anderson, Partner with Rancho Mesa and risk management expert for the tree care industry. “Safety is a top priority in the tree care industry, and having a strong safety program is essential to reducing risks. Our new tree care-specific toolbox talks are designed to help our clients build a culture of safety within their teams, addressing the unique hazards they face daily. By incorporating this content into their safety practice, clients can improve their risk profile, reduce accidents, and ultimately lower their insurance costs, making their business safer and more successful in the long run.”

The tree care-specific toolbox talks are accessible through the SafetyOne mobile app by supervisors, safety managers and foreman.

To enable access to these tree care-specific toolbox talks via the mobile app, Rancho Mesa recommends the SafetyOne administrator create a Tree Care toolbox talk group specifically for these toolbox talks. Assign these toolbox talks to the new group and set the group as the default. This will automatically enable the entire tree care library for all projects within the SafetyOne mobile app.

To find the tree care-specific toolbox talk topics in the SafetyOne™ administrator website, use the keyword “tree.” All topics in this library will display.
