Learning Outcomes

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to identify trees in need of temporary protection and implement a protection program according to specifications. The unit applies to individuals who work in arboriculture under broad direction and take responsibility for their own work. They use discretion and judgement in the selection, allocation and use of available resources and for solving problems. The arboriculture industry requires that all tree protection work is undertaken according to preferred industry practices (as outlined in the Companion Volume), including Australian Standard AS4970. Legislation, regulations and by-laws relating to the treatment and removal of trees apply in some states and territories.
