BTC/134/2018 - Technical Information Note 1: Tree risk management for duty holders
This Technical Information Note (TIN) describes observations on tree risk management that may assist duty holders (those with responsibility for tree safety) in assessing how to discharge their duty of care. It is based on the expert witness experience of Jeremy Barrell acting in civil and criminal cases, and inquests, over the last 20 years. It is a tree-oriented summary; it is not presented as an analysis of the law, although it does reference other technical publications as sources of further information.
