DOL/OSHA RIN: 1218-AD04 Publication ID: Spring 2019 
Title: Tree Care Standard 
Abstract:

There is no OSHA standard for tree care operations; the agency currently applies a patchwork of standards to address the serious hazards in this industry. The tree care industry previously petitioned the agency for rulemaking and OSHA issued an ANPRM (September 2008). Tree care continues to be a high-hazard industry.
