Arboriculture Safe Work Practices (SWP) Review

Safe Work Practices (SWP) Policy Review

Private Consulting Service — Tree Climbing SWP Review & Revision

Your climbing crew is only as safe as the procedure they're following. If your Tree Climbing Safe Work Procedure hasn't been reviewed against current standards, it may be putting your organization, and your staff, at risk without anyone realizing it.

We conduct a comprehensive review and revision of your existing Tree Climbing SWP, checking it against WorkSafeBC Part 26, ANSI Z133, and current arboricultural best practice, then rebuild it into a document your field staff will actually use.

Who This Service Is For

  • Municipalities and public works departments with an existing Tree Climbing SWP

  • Tree care and landscape companies formalizing or updating their safety documentation

  • Any organization preparing for an audit, insurance review, or internal safety program update

Why This Service Matters

Built on the standards you're accountable to. Every revision is checked against WorkSafeBC Part 26 and ANSI Z133, not just tidied up for readability.
Written for the people using it. We refine language and structure so field staff can actually follow it, not just file it.
Fully documented. You get a marked-up review copy and a summary of changes, so your team can see exactly what changed and why before it's approved.

What's Included

  • Document Review: assessing your current SWP for clarity, accuracy, and alignment with WorkSafeBC Part 26, ANSI Z133, and current practice, and identifying gaps, inconsistencies, or outdated procedures

  • Technical Revisions: updating content on climbing systems (MRS/SRS), equipment selection, PPE, hazard assessment, and emergency procedures

  • Compliance & Safety Enhancements: integrating required regulatory elements and strengthening hazard identification and mitigation guidance

  • Formatting & Usability Improvements: restructuring the document for clarity and end-user adoption, delivered as a clean, professional document ready for your safety program

  • Summary of Changes: a concise breakdown of all revisions and the rationale behind them, ready for internal review and approval

What You'll Receive

  • A fully revised Tree Climbing Safe Work Procedure, delivered in editable Word format and final PDF

  • An annotated review copy marking up the original document with identified gaps and recommended corrections

  • A summary of revisions detailing major changes and how they align with WorkSafeBC Part 26 and ANSI Z133

  • One round of minor revisions is included after delivery

Engagement Details:

  1. Format: Document review and revision, billed hourly with a minimum engagement

  2. Location: Conducted remotely, based on the documents your organization provides
