UTT/UTW: Who We Are, What We Do, and How to Become One of Us
In today’s liability-conscious world, it is vital for landowners (government, industry and private citizens) to manage risks that result from trees growing around utility installations, such as power lines, natural gas pipelines and transportation infrastructure.
"Utility Tree trimmers and workers are certified professionals essential to the health and safety of landowners, the public and the environment."
Failure to demonstrate due diligence in managing vegetation growth may have serious legal ramifications, including increased liability exposure. One important method of enhancing the safety of real estate holdings and reduce the likelihood of tragic circumstances leading to expensive legal action is by accessing accredited UTT/UTW personnel with critical knowledge regarding maintenance of foliage close to utility installations.
This is where the PVMA comes in
