Arboriculture Industry Health and Safety Review
Following the recent publication of a ‘Prevention of Future Deaths’ report in relation to a fatality in February 2016 and the second, recent, death of another climbing arborist, the Association takes seriously its role to work with industry to discover what steps could be taken to lessen the likelihood of a similar accident happening in future.
Your feedback is critical in helping us to work with our partner organisations, including HSE and STIHL, to determine the best way forward.
