Tree safety management policy

We have a responsibility to ensure that our trees don't pose a danger to the public or property.

To address this risk the we have produced a Tree Safety Management Policy.

This Policy will ensure:

An overall assessment of risk is completed to identify high, medium and low risk tree zones
A system of tree inspections is in operation in relation to risk
A record of trees and inspections is retained
Systems and processes are identified that control and mitigate risks as identified from inspections
Staff who carry out inspections are competent to do so
Operation of this Policy will enable the County Council to mitigate tree risks to as low a level as is reasonably practicable
