Tree work involves many high-risk activities and skills. Workers often work in remote areas with difficult terrain and in all weathers. Training is a basic requirement for safe and efficient work.
People new to a task should receive adequate information and training to do their work safely and effectively. Depending on the nature of the work, the training may vary from simple instructions provided by their supervisor, through to nationally recognised courses providing comprehensive basic training and accredited qualifications.
