Problem
Arborists and Tree worker Climber is not yet widespread. Both government agencies and non-governmental organizations are not serious about holding positions and officials who work as arborist and tree worker climber. Therefore, there must be a push for both the public sector and the policy sector that can effectively access solutions to problems. Tree worker climbers in Thailand did not work on safety, from climbing trees without safety gears, trimming using hand saws or chainsaws on trees regardless of safety. As a result, Thailand ranks among the world’s most incidences of work accidents using chainsaws.

Mission

The championships are also public events that help others learn more about this profession and inspire more people to enter the industry which can use a lot more manpower especially in Thailand.
