In the same way professional athletes must keep their body in optimal shape in order to negotiate a top salary, properly caring for your body as an athlete will not only make you more productive and profitable, it can also help to prevent a career-ending injury.” Dr. Amanda Carpenter SKILLS & SAFETY ARENA Ed Carpenter BS, AS, NATS, MCA, CEAS Amanda Carpenter PT, DPT, CProT, CEAS WEDNESDAY • NOV 29 10:00 a.m. Chainsaw Safety & Cutting Techniques Featuring Dr. John Ball 12:00 noon Technical Tree Climbing 1:30 p.m. Arborist Technical Rigging 3:00 p.m. Emergency Response & First Aid in the Green Industry THURSDAY • NOV 30 10:00 a.m. Chainsaw Safety & Cutting Techniques 12:00 noon Technical Tree Climbing 1:30 p.m. Arborist Technical Rigging 3:00 p.m. Health & Wellness for Green Industry Professionals FRIDAY • DEC 1 10:00 a.m. Chainsaw Safety & Cutting Techniques 12:00 noon Technical Tree Climbing 1:30 p.m. Arborist Technical Rigging ★Open to all registered attendees (✪ALL ACCESS and EXPO PASS) All NATS Safety and Educational programs comply with ANSI Z490 Standard Criteria for Accepted Practices in Safety, Health and Environmental Training, as well as applicable OSHA, ASTM, and ISO Standards.
