Z133-2026 Safety Standard Now Available

ISA is pleased to share that the Z133-2026 Safety Standard has been approved by ANSI and is now available.

The American National Standard: Safety and Health Requirements for Arboricultural Operations (commonly referred to as the Z133 standard) is a United States safety standard for use across the arboriculture industry. The previous edition of the Z133, effective until 27 May 2026, was published in 2017. Since that year, the Z133 Committee has drafted revisions to refine the standard, ensure better safety outcomes, and keep pace with developments in the industry.

The Z133 standard is available through the ISA web store in English and Spanish with digital and print options.

The digital options in both English and Spanish are provided in downloadable PDF format for individual use, available through the ISA web store at no cost. This involves adding the free product to your webcart, checking out, and then accessing it as a digital product through your MyISA account dashboard. If you do not already have a MyISA account, you will be prompted to create one on checkout. There is no charge for the digital standard or for creating a MyISA account.

The digital version of the standard is for individual use only—not for sharing or distribution—but you are welcome to download it and keep it on any of your devices for easy access. ISA wishes to thank our Gold Canopy Partners for helping make this option available. We encourage you to take advantage of this free opportunity and take ownership of your safety.

The print options in English and Spanish are available for purchase at the ISA retail ($29.95) or member ($24.95) price, providing you with a high-quality print version of the standard with a spiral binding. A bulk discount is available to preapproved bulk purchasers wishing to buy 25 or more copies of the standard.

ISA also offers a licensing option for companies that wish to print or distribute their own copies internally. For more information on bulk purchasing or Z133 licensing, please contact [email protected].
