Industry code of practice for arboriculture: Tree work at height (Second Edition)

This second edition of the Industry code of practice for arboriculture (ICoP) provides revised and updated guidance, with planning protocols for managing resources, personnel, and equipment to ensure safe and efficient working practices. It also provides the basis for the further development of detailed technical guidance on individual tasks and equipment.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) was involved with the Arboricultural Association in producing this guidance. HSE endorses the guidance, as it follows a sensible and proportionate approach to managing health and safety.
