Tree hazard and risk assessment
Tree hazard and risk assessment is, and will continue to be, a very important part of any tree management policy for those with responsibility for tree cover, whether public or private. The need for risk assessment is clearly set out in legislation and government guidance, and recent case law has focused attention on the level of knowledge, training and competence of those assessing the hazard potential of trees. This practical workshop, suitable for arboriculturists, landscape architects and other local authority professionals, examines the key elements of a systematic approach to hazard and risk assessment. It looks at key lessons from case law; biological and bio-mechanical assessments; the process of assessment of a potential failure of trees; assessing the level of risk; and record keeping.
