Important Legislations

To help us maintain a safe working environment, for delivering tree care, stump management, seasoned logs and firewood in Haywards Heath, our tree surgeons keep up-to-date with the latest safety policies and comply fully with the following legislations:

BS3998: Tree Work – Every reputable tree surgeon should work to the British Standard for Tree Work. These industry-leading recommendations lay out how to carry out tree surgery safely and successfully, covering areas such as the safe management of a site, the protection of wildlife and stump grinding.

BS5837: Trees in Relation to Design, Demolition and Construction – This is another British Standard document, providing recommendations and guidance for tree surgeons and anyone working in construction, to do with the management of trees in the vicinity of structures.

NRSWA: New Roads and Street Works Act 1991 – To perform tree surgery and stump grinding work safely on or alongside roads in Haywards Heath, our company complies with the policies set in the NRSWA. The key objectives set are to ensure safety, minimise disruption and protect the surroundings.

Work at Height Regulations 2005 – One of the biggest risks to a tree surgeon if not properly trained, is falling from height. We often must climb to potentially hazardous heights as part of our work, but by complying with the regulations set out in this document it minimises any risk greatly.
