health & safety

A high level of health and safety is a mutual objective of all Devon Tree Services’ personnel.  Our policy is to do all that is reasonably practicable, to prevent personal injury and damage to property, and to protect both our employees and the general public from foreseeable work hazards.

As part of our Health and Safety management programme we have recently installed a complete workplace hazard management system (WHAMS), which provides us with an operational arboricultural risk assessment, to complement our existing risk assessments, method statements and environmental policy.

Our responsibilities, which conform to current Health and Safety legislation are:

• To provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, taking account of any statutory requirements
• To provide training and instruction to enable all employees to perform their work safely and efficiently
• To maintain a constant and continued interest in health and safety arrangements
• To consult on a regular basis with our employees on health and safety issues and update accordingly
