Hi, there is a generic risk assessment on the AA website, see Arboricultural Association - Help for arborists .

 

In terms of a risk analysis, it does include a risk evaluation, which is kinda the same thing, albeit qualitative rather than quantitative, which is sometimes challenged as deemed to be subjective (but then so is assigning numbers using a risk matrix with the key consideration being 'probability'.)

 

So, perhaps a start, rather than finish, point.

 

Cheers,

Paul
