These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 62 topics.
You're on a removal on a residential street, and a neighbor walks right under the limb you're about to drop. Where does the work zone end, and who was supposed to keep it clear?
You read that section last night. The zones are described in words, one after the other, with nothing that shows you where one ends and the next one starts.
In this book the work zone is an overhead diagram: the tree in the middle, the drop zone around it, then the work zone, then the public zone with the cones and the street. And one line in the box: the zones go up before the rigging does.
Every other crew topic gets the same treatment: the job briefing in 5 steps, the approach distances, the kickback zone on the bar, the chipper seen from above, aerial rescue.
You see it once and you set it up right on the next job, without digging the manual out of the truck.
The rules and the job briefing, PPE, work zones, electrical hazards, tree inspection and climbing, aerial lifts, chain saws and rigging, chippers and cranes, and emergencies with aerial rescue: 66 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
It's 7 a.m. at the truck, the crew is waiting, and you have to run the job briefing before anybody gears up. Five steps, and you want them in the same order every single time.
You open the job briefing page and see the five steps drawn one after the other, with what to cover at each one and who signs off.
Same with the approach distances, the tie-in point, the rigging forces, the chipper and aerial rescue: each one on its own page.
Tree Care Safety Illustrated is 9 parts and 62 topics, all drawn, and it ends with the exam numbers to know and a crew checklist before leaving the yard.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
Who writes the rules (ANSI Z133 and OSHA), qualified vs. line-clearance arborist, the job briefing in 5 steps, the site survey, the person in charge and training records.
Helmet type and class, eyes, face and hearing, chain saw leg protection, hands, feet and clothing, and the PPE check before every shift.
The work zone seen from above, the drop zone, traffic control on the street, command and response, hand signals and weather calls.
Every line treated as energized, direct and indirect contact, the approach distances for each worker, step and touch potential, insulated tools, storm work and what the ground worker does.
Inspecting the tree before you climb, line and hardware strength, harness and lanyard, the tie-in point, MRS vs. SRS, ascent methods, two points of attachment and spurs.
Insulated vs. non-insulated lifts, pre-use inspection, outriggers and slope, fall protection in the bucket, load capacity and emergency lowering.
The saw parts that protect you, the kickback zone, starting the saw, notch, hinge and back cut, escape routes, rigging forces, working load limit, lowering devices and gear inspection.
Feeding the chipper, controls and lockout, the stump grinder zone, the crane removal plan, cranes near power lines and rigging the pick.
The emergency plan on one page, aerial rescue from a lift and from the rope, first aid priorities, the exam numbers to know and the crew checklist before leaving the yard.
At the end of the book: An exam review page with the numbers to know and a crew checklist before leaving the yard.
Test yourself topic by topic and see right away which pages you need to review again, with every answer explained in one or two lines.
See the frequent mistakes on a tree job drawn side by side with the safe way, so you can spot them on your crew before they turn into an incident.

It's built on ANSI Z133 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269, the standards most tree care safety exams draw from. Check your exam's reference list to confirm. It doesn't teach you to climb: it puts every crew safety topic on one drawn page, so you can review the rules and numbers you already work with.
From the current edition of ANSI Z133 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269, 1910.67, 1910.95, 1910.333 and 1926 Subpart CC, explained in our own words and drawings. Every value carries its reference and is checked against the current edition.
