OSHA Exit Routes, EAPs, and FPPs for Tree and Landscape Workers

Course Overview: Whether managing high-angle canopy cuts or handling flammable fuels in the staging yard, tree care jobsites can transform into high-risk emergency scenes in seconds. Under strict federal guidelines, this course delivers a critical, industry-specific breakdown of OSHA Subpart E and Subpart L compliance mandates. Moving far beyond generic office protocols, this module focuses on mandatory Emergency Action Planning (EAP) standards, required written and oral communication thresholds, and regulatory fire prevention compliance. Participants will deep-dive into strict emergency life-saving procedure mandates, jobsite rescue protocols for victims aloft or inside aerial lift buckets, and the exact coordination required before emergency services arrive. From calculating the physics of combustion to mastering portable fire extinguisher deployment using the P.A.S.S. technique, this training ensures your field crew can execute rapid, compliant, and life-saving actions during a crisis.
