Over the last couple of years there has been a significant shift in practical guidance on safe and compliant tree work at height. With the revision of the Industry Code of Practice (ICoP) and the publication of the new Technical Guides, along with the accompanying Safety Guides, we now have a comprehensive provision of guidance that takes us from the legislation (Work at Height Regulations 2005) to hands-on audit tools. This suite of newly published documents replaces the previous guidance and AFAG Safety Guides for aerial tree work.

This series of Safety Guides has been developed to help operators and those responsible for their supervision, e.g. the ‘Competent Person’, to identify the key safety points in relation to activities involving tree work at height.

A world-leading authority for over 50 years on arboricultural best practice, the Association delivers professional standards and guidance, ensuring responsible management of the trees in our care.

The Arboricultural Association is here to support arborists. Our mission is to promote trees and the tree care professionals who enable their sustainable management.
