Tree Risk Assessment Form

A tree near a house, road or play area carries a duty of care, and a documented inspection is how that duty is met. This form structures an arborist’s assessment — the tree’s condition, any defects, what it could hit, and the recommended action — so the risk is recorded and the right work follows. It captures what a competent inspection records: species and size, the targets within falling distance, visible defects — deadwood, cracks, decay, fungal growth, lean, root heave — an overall risk rating, and the recommendation, from “no action” to “re-inspect” to “urgent work”. The kind of record a landowner, manager or insurer expects to see. Use it for duty-of-care inspections on domestic, commercial or managed land. Free, brandable, and it turns a walk-round into a defensible, actionable record.
