MIS300 – Safe Tree Work

A Minimum Industry Standard for Safe Tree Work

This document covers the core work skills of operating safely on tree

work sites. The document is aimed at workers conducting tree pruning

and removal operations, rather than consultancy, testing or other types

of arboricultural works.

About the MIS Series

This book is one in a series of Minimum Industry Standards (MIS) produced by Arboriculture Australia Ltd and the New Zealand Arboricultural Association in consultation with the national arboriculture community in both countries. These industry peer-reviewed documents provide a ‘body of knowledge’ which is shared by practitioners and can be used as the basis for training, dissemination of skills and professional development.
