Importance of risk assessments & method statement webinar and templates

Earlier this week a forestry worker was left seriously injured when a tree being cut at the base of the trunk fell in the opposite direction to expected.  The contractor responsible (not a member of BALI) was found guilty of failing to implement a safe working zone around the tree as it was being felled. 

Don’t forget – a webinar and suite of template risk assessment documents are available to download from the BALI website for all members.   

The webinar introduces the principals associated with risk assessment, as well as the process of assessing risk. 

To support the webinar, a suite of template risk assessment documents covering the most common landscape tasks are available to download directly from the BALI website.  These assessments cover all risks likely to arise during landscape construction and maintenance, ranging from manual handling to weather hazards.  

The risk assessments are available in two formats; a simple, single table suited to smaller businesses completing domestic projects of a similar nature, or a suite of 51 risk assessment and method statement documents which cover a wide range of construction or grounds maintenance projects for domestic or commercial clients.
