Eric personally reviews all emergency tree removal protocols and safety procedures we follow during storm-related events, structural failures, and immediate hazard situations. His oversight ensures our emergency response meets ANSI Z133 safety standards, ISA Tree Risk Assessment (TRAQ) protocols, and best practices for working around compromised trees, utility hazards, and unstable structures.
Under Eric’s review, Sound Tree Care evaluates each emergency site for critical risk factors such as uprooted trees under tension, hanging limbs, partially failed trunks, wind-loaded canopies, compromised root plates, and trees that threaten homes, power lines, driveways, or access routes. Eric verifies that proper rigging methods, equipment selection, and hazard mitigation steps are taken before any emergency removal begins.
His goal is to ensure that every emergency response prioritizes life-safety, preserves property where possible, and is executed with the highest level of industry-recognized safety and risk-assessment standards.
