Safety first... Safety always.  This state-of-the-art, professional safety seminar is being offered by the Florida Chapter ISA at a substantially discounted price!  Experience cutting, climbing, rigging and rescue techniques that can keep you from becoming an accident statistic. Be prepared to interact with your fellow arborists and share what you know. You may just save someone’s life.

AGENDA

Come prepared to be outdoors for part of the day.  Bring your PPE (hard hat, eye protection, ear protection). In the event of rain, the workshop will stay indoors for the entire class. Remember to dress for your comfort level indoors as well; we cannot always control the room temperature at all locations.
