Tree Safety – Managing the Risks
Background
Whilst the risk of being injured or killed by a falling tree or branch is statistically very low, from time to time the British media carry reports of tragic fatal incidents involving trees. These incidents should remind landowners and those in control of land on which trees are present of the need to manage the risks associated with them.
When a tree becomes hazardous because of decay or structural weakness and exhibits external signs of being in such a condition, the occupier of the land on which it stands is normally liable under UK law for any personal injury or damage that it may cause. The occupier is identified as whoever has possession of and controls the land.
This guide considers the liability risks of local authorities and others in control of land on which trees are present.
