MBI
Comprehensive Safety & Training Programs
Safety is foundational to how MBI Tree Service operates, not a standalone program, but a disciplined mindset that guides leadership, field execution, and every decision we make in partnership with our customers. Our safety culture is built on accountability, clearly defined standards, and continuous awareness of risk, ensuring work is performed responsibly across utility, transportation, commercial, and storm response environments. We align our practices with applicable OSHA, ANSI, and customer-specific requirements while reinforcing a simple, unwavering expectation: every employee returns home safely at the end of each day.
Structured Training for Safe, Compliant Operations
MBI's training framework is designed to prepare our crews for the complex, high-risk conditions inherent in vegetation management. Through structured onboarding, role-specific instruction, and ongoing field education, our teams are equipped to identify hazards, follow safe work practices, and execute tasks with precision and professionalism. Training is reinforced through regular tailgate meetings, job briefings, and supervisory oversight, ensuring safety expectations are clearly communicated and consistently applied across all operations.
Centralized Systems for Training & Compliance
Training and compliance are supported through centralized systems that help standardize education, track participation, and keep our workforce informed as requirements and best practices evolve. This approach promotes consistency across regions while supporting preparedness, accountability, and professional development for both new hires and experienced personnel.
Ongoing Oversight & Continuous Improvement
Operational oversight further strengthens safety performance in the field. Fleet monitoring, job observations, and active supervision promote safe operating behaviors, situational awareness, and accountability, particularly during large-scale mobilizations and storm response efforts. When opportunities for improvement are identified, MBI emphasizes focused retraining and targeted safety discussions to address specific risks and reinforce expectations.
Commitment to Excellence in Safety
Continuous improvement is central to MBI's safety and training philosophy. Regular inspections, audits, and performance reviews inform updates to training content, procedures, and compliance practices. Lessons learned from daily operations and emergency response events are incorporated back into our training programs, strengthening our ability to protect our people, safeguard critical infrastructure, and serve as a trusted partner to utilities, cooperatives, public agencies, and commercial clients.
