Tree Service Safety Inspection Checklist (Fillable Word + PDF)

Most safety checklists you print, clip to a board, and check off with a pen — or worse, never actually reference once the job starts. This one works the way a crew actually works: 33 real, clickable checkboxes across six sections, usable in Word on a laptop or directly on a phone or tablet in the field via the fillable PDF.

What's inside:

• Six sections covering the full job: Pre-Job Site Assessment, Equipment Inspection, Personal Protective Equipment, Crew Communication, During-Work Checks, and Post-Job / Site Cleanup
• 33 genuinely clickable checkboxes — real form fields, not typed characters that only look like checkboxes
• Both formats fillable: the .docx has real Word checkbox controls, and the companion PDF has the same 33 checkboxes as real interactive fields, plus 4 fillable fields for job site, date, crew lead, and company name
• Covers the hazards that actually come up on a tree job — overhead lines, hazard tree identification, rigging inspection, drop zone control, and more

Who this is for:

Tree service crews and arborists who want a safety checklist crew members will actually use on-site — on a phone or tablet, not just a clipboard that stays in the truck.

Format & technical notes:

Delivered as an editable .docx with clickable Word checkboxes, plus a PDF with the same checkboxes as real fillable form fields (open in Adobe Acrobat Reader or a tablet PDF app for full interactive support). This checklist is a safety aid, not a substitute for OSHA/ANSI Z133 training or your company's full safety program.
