SAFETY AT THE CORE OF OUR OPERATIONS
SAFETY AT THE CORE OF OUR OPERATIONS
We are committed to fostering a culture of safety in all our operations. Safety in vegetation management is paramount as it involves working in potentially dangerous environments with heavy equipment, sharp tools, in some cases electrical hazards, and unpredictable conditions. Prioritizing safety not only protects our team members and the public, but also ensures preservation of the environment and success for our client's vegetation management projects. At United we implement strict safety protocols, ongoing training programs, and regular equipment maintenance to minimize the risk of accidents, injuries, environmental non-compliance, and delays to our client's projects.
