Under the Occupiers’ Liability Act 1984, anyone responsible for land — including the trees on it — has a legal duty to identify and manage potential risks.
In addition, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 places statutory obligations on landowners and managers to ensure the safety of anyone who may be affected by their property.
To comply, a structured tree inspection programme must be in place. This ensures trees are regularly assessed, and any hazards or defects are identified and addressed promptly.
What Are Your Responsibilities?
Landowners, estate managers, and duty holders should appoint a professional tree survey and risk assessment, carried out by a qualified arboricultural surveyor.
