Safe Work Practices ISA Arborist Must Know
from Arborist Podcast Hosted by Arborist Podcast
Safety isn't just a section of the manual—it is 15% of your total exam score. In this heavy-hitting episode, we tackle Safe Work Practices, the most weighted domain in the ISA Certified Arborist exam. If you want to pass, you have to stop thinking like a "cutter" and start thinking like a "Safety Officer." We break down the life-saving protocols and industry standards that the ISA expects you to know by heart. What we’re locking in today: The Golden Rule: Why productivity never overrides the ANSI Z133 standards (and why the exam will trick you with "faster" options). Electrical Hazards: Mastering Minimum Approach Distances (MAD) and how to handle utility-proximate work. The Pre-Climb Mental Map: Identifying structural defects and environmental hazards before your feet leave the ground. The PPE Hierarchy: A checklist of what is required, not suggested, from head to toe. Emergency Readiness: Why your "Aerial Rescue" plan is just as important as your felling plan. Exam Strategy: When in doubt on a test question, the answer that is the most conservative, most documented, and least risky is almost always the correct one. 🎥 Full video lessons available on YouTube Search: “Arborist Podcast” or visit: http://www.youtube.com/@arboristpodcast
