Tree risk management
Trees are fundamental to our well-being and quality of life
They are integral to natural ecosystems and provide a wide range of other social, economic and environmental benefits. We believe that any tree risk management system should be a balance between these benefits and the low level of risk that trees present.
All landowners have a common duty of care under the Occupier’s Liability Acts 1957 and 1984 and statutory duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. These duties include taking all reasonably practicable precautions to ensure the safety of those on their land.
Our arboriculture team has developed a unique, cost-effective approach
The tree risk management approach has been developed to ensure that you manage the risk from your trees within the legal framework and following industry best practices.
In line with The National Tree Safety Group’s (NTSG) document on ‘Common Sense Risk Management of Trees’, our team of qualified and experienced arboriculturists will focus on where there is a need for tree risk surveys by zoning your land holding, based on the levels of usage and/or occupancy.
Our specialists can provide on-going advice and support including expert tree inspections, aerial inspections, auditing and reviewing tree risk policies as required.
