Tree surgeons

Locating a qualified, reliable and experienced arborist (tree surgeon) can often be problematic and the wrong choice can be expensive - and dangerous.

Consultant or contractor Initially decide what jobs need doing, as this will determine whether you need a consultant or contractor (a ‘tree surgeon’ may be either or both).

A consultant will give professional advice on the health and safety of a tree and advise on the potential impact on any proposed or existing buildings or any other tree issue including providing guidance in relation to Tree Preservation Orders and planning regulations. A contractor will typically carry out tree pruning, bracing, planting and felling operations and be able to identify and control (where feasible) tree pests and diseases.

Belonging to professional organisations can be expensive and there are often satisfactory local arborists who do not belong to these. These can offer good value as they are familiar with the area, may be recommended by word-of-mouth and there are few travelling costs.

Tree surgeon awarded payout

It has been reported that a trainee tree surgeon has been awarded around a £15,000 payout in compensation after suffering an accident at work.

The unnamed 21-year-old incurred his injury when he fell from a tree during the course of his work, according to a report from Legal & Medical. The tree surgeon reportedly fell from a tree around six feet in height and incurred broken ribs and a fractured arm. Photographic evidence revealed that the fall had occurred because his employers had failed to take adequate safety measures.

In particular, the evidence revealed that the metal safety links that should have secured his harness had become damaged and as a result were no longer capable of holding the man in place.

The claimant took five months to recover from his injuries
