ISA offers a range of educational materials and products to help arborists enhance their professional knowledge and expertise. Every month, the ISA will feature a product or group of products. This month, ISA is featuring the Gear Check Video.

With the tree climbing competition (TCC) season in full swing, it's essential to ensure your equipment is safe, offers the best performance, and is reliable. The Gear Check Video is a complimentary resource that covers how to conduct a proper gear check for a TCC. An accompanying quiz, designed to test your knowledge and understanding of gear safety, is also available for purchase worth 1 CEU (A, T, Bp, L).

The video provides a high-level overview of personal equipment, ropes and textiles, connecting links, climbing harnesses, and some common climbing and work-positioning systems used by arborists while also serving as a training resource for crews.
