Hazardous Trees Checklist

This hazardous trees checklist, aligned to Aviva’s Loss Prevention Standard, helps duty holders and property managers identify tree-related risks and control measures. Verify responsibility for trees, check preservation orders, and evaluate potential harm to people and property in public areas such as footpaths, play spaces, roadsides, and seating areas. Set inspection frequencies, use competent inspectors, trigger checks after severe weather, and maintain records. Confirm barriers and access controls are in good order and ensure contractor insurance requirements are met. Includes space for comments and sign-off, plus a link to the full Aviva standard for reference.
