Safety – Protecting You and Your Property
Professional Tree Access and Safety Practices
With over 15 years of experience serving the Shoalhaven region, C&S Tree Services is committed to safety on every job — protecting your property, our team, and the surrounding environment.
Our qualified tree experts are highly experienced in working safely at heights and follow strict safety procedures at every stage of the job. We use well-maintained Elevated Work Platforms (EWPs) operated by licensed personnel to ensure safe and efficient access to even the most difficult areas.
Before any work begins, we carry out a detailed tree and site assessment to identify any potential hazards. This allows us to plan the safest, most effective approach, ensuring a smooth and professional result with no surprises.
Our Safety Responsibilities
At C&S Tree Services, we follow national Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws and responsibilities to ensure every job is carried out as safely as possible – for our workers, our clients, and the public. We take the following Safe Work Australia responsibilities seriously:
Business Duties: As a tree services provider, we do everything reasonably practicable to keep our workers and others safe.
Our Team: All workers are expected to follow safety instructions, use equipment correctly, and avoid actions that could put themselves or others at risk.
Equipment Standards: All tools and machinery we use are sourced from trusted manufacturers and maintained to meet safety standards.
Leadership Oversight: Our management team exercises due diligence by ensuring all safety policies, training, and procedures are up to date and properly followed.
Managing Tree Work Risks
We apply a thorough safety planning process before starting any job:
Consultation & Planning: We engage with our team to plan the safest way to carry out the work, assigning tasks based on skills and experience.
Hazard Identification: We assess each site for risks like unstable trees, working at heights, electrical lines, weather conditions, and manual handling.
Risk Control: We always aim to eliminate risks where possible. If that’s not achievable, we apply the appropriate control measures using the national Hierarchy of Controls (e.g. using EWPs, isolating danger zones, clear signage, PPE, etc.).
Emergency Procedures: Every project includes an emergency response plan, especially for work involving heights. Our team is trained in rescue techniques and knows what to do in the event of an incident.
Equipment, Training & Supervision
Using the right tools the right way — and ensuring our team is properly trained to do so — is a key part of how we deliver safe, professional tree services.
We prefer ground-based methods where practical, but when working at height is needed, we use Elevating Work Platforms (EWPs) or rope systems operated by trained staff — never ladders.
All our equipment, including woodchippers, stump grinders, and chainsaws, is only used by trained personnel following manufacturer guidelines and wearing the correct PPE.
Our team receives ongoing training, regular skills assessments, and is supervised by experienced crew leaders to ensure safe practices are followed every step of the way.
