Tree Maintenance
Be Aware of your Health & Safety Liabilities
  Health & Safety Legislation has a massive influence on all organisations responsible for tree management.
(See Legislation listings)

These organisations are typically in estate management, both public and private.

In many instances the general public, in addition to employees, will have access to these estates; including grounds to the public buildings, roadside tree planting, and grounds maintenance in housing estates.






 Duty Of Care

Everyone is owed a duty of care which extends to:
  • Employee certified training
  • The use of equipment and materials
  • Risk assessment
As the requirement for outsourcing services grows, it must be noted that these duties of care apply to all contractors.

To safeguard the public, your cutstomers and your organisation, always select legitimate, professional companies who comply with the legislation, and can assist with accurate and informed Health & Safety advice.
