IMO - You would still need an ariel rescuer present- obviously other things
happen up trees than the normal cuts and scrapes- strokes, head bumps,
squirrel attacks (lol) and even having someone at the base of tree mointoring
the site etc.
As for insurance id of thought be a wise idea to have something in place-
doubt it would be alot to add on to your current pub ins and pi for tree
surveying anyway, never know if may even be included within your policy -
tree inspection is very much part of consultancy.

Hi Ben,
not sure about the insurance angle but you are right about the risk
assessment -
if you judge that no control measures are required, and you have documented
that, then up you go

Subject: Self-employment and climbing
Hi,
If a person is self employed would they be allowed to climb a tree and carry
out
a climbing inspection without specific insurance for this activity? That is
if
they have properly risk assessed the operation and they would not endangering
anyone other than themselves.
Would they need to have NPTC CS38?
Would another climber with NPTC CS38 need to be present?
If anyone knows about this please let me know.
Thanks,
Ben
