Places for People Landscapes Basic Tree Work Environmental Risk Assessment Form ER1

This document outlines a structured approach to environmental risk assessment for tree work operations. It provides a detailed scoring system on a 0-12 scale to evaluate potential environmental impacts, focusing on protected species, habitat preservation, and operational risks. The assessment includes three main components: population surveys, habitat site checks, and potential operational damage evaluation. Based on the combined risk score, the guide offers clear management protocols categorized as LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH risk, with specific actions required for each level. The form also includes provisions for designated wildlife sites and larger woodland areas, ensuring comprehensive environmental protection during tree work operations. This systematic approach helps operators maintain compliance while protecting natural habitats and species.
