Trees can present the risk of being struck by a falling tree or branch, although the risk is very low.
The University has some parks and grounds with mature trees present, and these are inspected annually by external services to determine the health of the tree and whether any management actions are required to mitigate any identified hazards (for example; damage to the tree, dead branches, or disease). Trees identified as presenting a particular hazard will be removed.
There is also a homepage that lists the range of Health and Safety risks identified as relevant to the University's activities and facilities, together with information on the University's policies and arrangements on how these risks are to be managed and controlled.
