Electricity is a serious and widespread hazard to arborists. Electricity causes about 15 percent of all fatalities in the tree care industry, making it the leading cause of worker fatalities.

EHAP helps train all arborists on how to recognize and avoid these electrical hazards. Qualified line-clearance arborists must know more about electrical hazards and the special techniques used to safely work near electrical conductors.
