Tree Risk Assessments - Risk Analysis (pt.3)

A tree risk assessment is the technical process of identifying the risk potential of a tree and formulating the mitigation options to address the risks identified. A thorough and valid assessment must include four components: the likelihood of a tree part to fail, the time frame in which the failure may occur, the likelihood of striking a target, and the consequences if such an event occurs. This classroom session will provide the details of these key elements.
