Las Vegas Tree Professionals Gear Up for Safety

    

Las Vegas tree professionals at First Choice Tree Service are "tying the knot" with safety.  The tree service company's crew, led by Safety Director, Leon Pera, has been undergoing a series of classes to aide them in their efficiency in tree climbing and safety.  Being accredited by the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA), the company strives to maintain its safety standards and lead the way in Southern Nevada.

"Learning the names of the knots is as equally important as knowing how to tie them and use them," says Pera. "It's all about educating our employees and teaching them assessment techniques for emergencies."

The crew has undergone first aid and CPR courses and a series of hands-on training in the areas of aerial rescue training and advanced tree climber training.

"We teach them how to use the equipment that they already have with them, to perform tree rescues," says Pera.  "Let's say if a team member is suffering from dehydration and is unable to come down, our own on-site team is capable and equipped to put together a rescue team and efficiently bring the person down while medical help is on its way."

Training at First Choice Tree Service results in certification, but moreover efficiency on the job, skilled professionalism and confidence.

"Seeing our company grow to the next level of expertise is a place that we've wanted to be for years," says Tony Valenti, owner of First Choice Tree Service. "We've set high expectations to be the best in Las Vegas, and it feels great to know that everyone is on board to achieve success."
