When should a risk assessment take place?

Question

Does a site risk assessment need to take place before a tree surgeon does work at my property? If so, do I make the assessment or do they?

Daniel · Accepted Answer

The tree surgeon will complete a risk assessment and should also provide a method statement, this is a health and safety requirement.

Simon · Answer

Your tree surgeon should be doing a site-specific risk assessment for the task at hand.

All you need to do is make them aware of any unforeseen hazards.

Hello There 
Going on experience 
That there should be some meeting 
To take place 
As there are neighbours 
Sheds and buildings greenhouses
All these have to be considered
As in there may be dangerous 
In the way on the tree removal 

And to find the safest way possible 

Many Thanks, D.T.TREE SURGEONS

You can put in for an assessment or we can do it for you it’s not that big of a deal

Graham · Answer

The risk assessment should be a part of your tree surgeons everyday jobs and completed by them as they will need to assess the risks to them and their employees. Risk assessments should be completed before any work starts as they should be specific to each job. Generally, a risk assessment is completed for the well being of the company as it can protect the company owner in the event of an accident. From experience, they are not usually completed for smaller private jobs as there is normally minimal risk (this choice is made by the company owner who will expect all liability) commercial jobs are different they are normally required to show evidence that you have taken all the necessary requirements to protect the employees.
