This Landscaping and Tree Service safety checklist helps crews and supervisors verify compliance with OSHA and industry best practices. Sections cover pre-visit details, IIPP and Emergency Action Plans, safety committees, SDS management, return-to-work, and required postings. Field checks include PPE usage, heat illness prevention, lifting, handling fertilizers and pesticides, powered groundskeeping tools, electrical safety, and lockout/tagout. Tree work items address hazard assessment, climbing tie-in, fall arrest systems, harness and rope inspection, exclusion zones, chainsaw operation and transport, and traffic control near roadways. Machine guarding, emergency stop access, training, and routine equipment inspections are included to help reduce incidents and claims.
