School Risk Assessments

A school risk assessment looks at prominent trees within school grounds and determines each tree’s level of risk. This report is essential in determining which trees pose an unacceptable level of risk, and it also helps inform managers where best to allocate their tree maintenance budget. 

Schools are required to manage trees on school sites as part of schools OH&S responsibilities. Schools must engage an arborist to undertake an annual tree integrity audit inspection, following advice from OHS Risk Management Policy and the Contractor OHS Management Policy.

All of our Arborists are trained and certified in using the Quantified Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) system, which quantifies the risk of significant harm from tree failure in a way that enables tree managers to balance safety with tree values and operate to predetermined limits of tolerable or acceptable risk.

A TMC school tree risk assessment report will ensure that the schools Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) responsibilities regarding their tree population are met.
