Tree reports question

[James Atkinson]

So basically I got a phone call from a local primary school today asking for advice on there trees, no problem.

But then I got thinking if I recommend leaving a tree for whatever reason am I liable for future health and safety matters (children) I don't have a tree report certificate, would it be recommended to contract that work out to a proper tree report guy who can map it all out and sign it off? Then I just come in afterwards and do the work. I have been doing this for over 10 years so I need to do the course but in the mean time what are your views?

Think you've answered your own question there. It's about being competent / qualified (and insured) to do whatever tasks you're assigned and that fall within your realm of expertise, i.e. being professional.

 

Many previous posts have concluded to the same effect.

 

Cheers,

Yea thought as much. I don't have a problem with using a contractor. Just want one I can trust and not go and do the work the following week 😂
