Health and Safety
Our Commitment to Safety
At Tree Chipping Services, we are fully committed to maintaining a safe working environment in all aspects of our tree chipping and arborist services across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty. With over 25 years of hands-on experience, we understand the risks involved in tree work and land management. That’s why health and safety is central to everything we do — from planning and preparation through to the completion of every job.
Impac Prequal Assessed
Tree Chipping Services is Impac Prequal assessed, which demonstrates our commitment to meeting recognised health and safety standards in New Zealand. This prequalification process ensures we are continually reviewing, improving, and adhering to best practices in safety management. For our clients — whether residential, commercial, council, or rural — it means confidence and peace of mind that all work will be carried out safely and professionally.
Safety in Practice
We implement a wide range of safety measures on every job, ensuring that both our workers and the public are protected. Our approach to safety includes:
Qualified Staff
All workers are trained in arboriculture, chainsaw operation, chipper use, first aid, and machinery handling. Ongoing training ensures that we keep up to date with the latest industry standards and safe work practices.
Risk Assessments
Every project begins with a detailed, site-specific hazard assessment. By identifying risks early, we can plan and implement the right controls to keep our staff, clients, and the public safe.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Our team is fully equipped with the necessary safety gear, including helmets, gloves, eye and ear protection, chainsaw chaps, and high-visibility clothing. This ensures all work is completed as safely as possible.
Safe Work Procedures
All tools and machinery are regularly serviced, inspected, and maintained to prevent failures or accidents. Our team follows strict safe work procedures for manual handling, machinery operation, and working at heights.
Traffic and Pedestrian Management
Where work takes place near roads, driveways, or public spaces, we implement appropriate traffic management plans. Cones, signage, and barriers are used to ensure safe access for both vehicles and pedestrians while work is underway.
Why Safety Matters
Tree removal, stump grinding, and land clearing are high-risk jobs. At Tree Chipping Services, we believe that no job is too urgent to compromise safety. Our clients trust us not only to deliver quality results but also to protect their property, the public, and our team every step of the way.
