Use this site-specific risk assessment template to manage out-of-hours emergency arboriculture and tree work. It guides teams to triage priority levels, assess wind and site exposure, secure the area with barriers and signage, and confirm required equipment. Sections cover wildlife assessment, working at height decisions (ground, MEWP, or climbing), biosecurity for pests and diseases, disposal of arisings, and extra equipment. It also prompts operator competence checks, emergency planning with nearest A&E and designated rescuer, and a site-specific hazard and control log with team sign-off.
