As an employee-owned company, we think safety starts with each individual employee, and that when people believe in a culture that values their well-being, great things can happen. From ongoing safety training to a state-of-the-art training facility at our newly under construction SEED Campus, we’re committed to making our workforce the safest and most well-trained in the industry.
Safety Starts With Each of Us
Our Culture of Safety
A culture of safety means more than checklists and compliance reports. We empower our employees to value safe work practices above all else – and for our clients, that means high-performing employees providing high-quality work, safely. At Davey, safety is one of our core values, and it’s ingrained in everything we do. Our professionals are trained to the highest industry standards and uphold our Davey Values every day.
Safety In Action
We understand that a solid foundation of training gives employees not only the ability to master their craft — it also provides them the necessary skills to perform their jobs as safely as possible and make decisions based on the most current best practices.

Safety Regulations
Service Description

When people are safe, when they are transparent with the work they do, it’s reflected in the quality of work. We set the bar for how to operate a utility vegetation management program. Our managers have gone through training and share that with the field personnel. You can see it in the work we do from the planning all the way down to the execution.
Safety is the most important thing to me. Having battled many wildfires since childhood, my radar goes off every time I see smoke. The potential loss of life grips me and I have to remember my training each time.
