Tree Risk Management
Do you have trees on your site and want to know more about the tree laws that could affect you? It’s important that anyone who owns premises that have trees understands their responsibilities before any injuries or instances occur. The Occupiers Liability Act 1984 means that the owner of the premises are usually liable for any loss or damage that results from either a tree falling or branches falling down. Therefore, occupiers must take steps in order to manage or reduce the risks. Get in touch with one of our experts about tree laws and tree risk management further.
Tree Risk Management
Tree risk management is something that occupiers of any premises or sites need to take seriously. It is vital that trees are regularly inspected to make sure that any branches or trees at risk of falling are identified and corrected. If you are the owner of premises that the public has access to, such as retail parks and schools you will need to have your trees inspected on an annual basis to ensure trees are safe for children and the public. If you have a fallen tree, responsibility and laws mean that you are liable. Here at the Grounds Care Group, we are able to carry out tree risk management by considering the following:
- Rerouting when necessary any paths or walkways
- Tree surgery
- Bracing the tree
- Felling of the tree
- Regular Inspections
