The grounds of hospitals around the country often include a number of trees. It’s incredibly important to regularly maintain these trees. This is both for the safety of the users and employees of the hospital, and for the condition of the building itself. Such an important service provider needs to have unnecessary environmental risks reduced. This is why regular tree maintenance is so crucial.
Minimising the risk that trees pose to the users of a hospital site is a process with several stages. Hazards must be assessed, trees inspected, potential issues mapped, and works scheduled. The team of experts at Technical Arboriculture manage this process from start to finish. In addition, we provide services such as decay identification with data in a range of formats compatible with multiple systems. This is really helpful when sharing information between departments.
The management of trees on a hospital site is an important part of the overall health and safety strategy for the building. The most effective tree management schedules are those managed and undertaken by the same service provider. For this reason we work regularly with our clients on hospital sites to ensure consistency of assessment and tree management. Contact us to begin your tree management programme.
“We use Technical Arboriculture for the development of our tree strategy, tree policy and risk management plan. They also prioritised our tree risk management areas and now carry out our surveys. We undertook a thorough tender process and awarded the contract based on their ability to meet council policies, give value for money and their approach to risk assessing with approval from our insurers at Zurich.”
