Database of Arboriculture Safety Standards
The Database of Arboriculture Safety Standards was compiled as part of the study “Arboricultural Safety Around the World,” which was supported, in part, by the TREE Fund’s “Safe Arborist Techniques Fund” and the University of Massachusetts - Amherst. While arboriculture safety standards exist in many countries, there had not been a resource which consolidated these documents prior to this study. Through online searches and correspondence with ISA component representatives, the authors compiled links to existing standards, organized them according to their respective countries and identified different types of standards. The database is an open resource, intended to serve as reference for arborist professionals, policy makers, academics and any other parties who may require such information for their work, or, have an interest in arboriculture work safety. Please note that (1) some of the standards are updated regularly and (2) the database is limited to countries in which an ISA component exists—standards may exist in other countries in which an ISA component does not exist
