This unit covers the assessment of vegetation, and in particular trees, for defects and hazards prior to cutting and pruning around live powerlines up to the live work zone as defined for both instructed and authorised persons in the industry guidelines associated with live electrical apparatus. The assessment is compiled and recorded in accordance with requirements and/or established procedures for defined species of vegetation and/or particular tree types.
