This is the second draft consultation of five new technical guides based upon the principles set out in the ‘Industry Code of Practice for Arboriculture – Tree Work at Height (2015)’.

Use of tools in the tree is designed to Build on Technical Guide 1: Tree climbing and aerial rescue, and between them they replace both the ‘Guide to Good Climbing Practice’ and ‘AFAG 401, 402 and 308’.

It is aimed at practicing, trained arborists and their supervisors and is due for publication in 2019.
