Do you have a lot of trees on your Melbourne property? Owning a significant treescape also comes with an obligation to manage any potential safety risks and hazards.
Arborcraft can provide owners and managers of significant treescapes with a comprehensive risk management plan to ensure they meet their duty of care obligations.
We inspect your trees; we determine any potential damage or injury they could cause and help you reduce and manage them moving forward.
When assessing and managing trees, Arborcraft acknowledges the need to strike a balance between the characteristic of the risk of a tree and the benefits the tree can provide.
These are the steps Arborcraft takes for tree risk management include:
1.
Identify the exposure hazard
We assess the potential exposure hazard, that is,
how many people enter the area or ‘fall zone’ of any hazardous trees.
2.
Estimate the risk
As part of our inspection, we present an assessment of the potential risk of
your treescape, enabling owners to determine the amount of risk they’re willing
to take (these inspections are also proof to authorities that you are actively
managing your trees).
3.
Prepare a tree planting strategy
Depending on the outcome of the risk inspection, we can offer a holistic view
to determine what trees are best suited to your landscape and/or how to manage
existing trees. The plan details what trees would be best suited and
sustainable for the space long term.
4.
Maintain and manage tree risk
When conducting the tree work, we consider all maintenance factors including
your needs, the health and safety of the trees and any potential risks they
pose to the community.
