Safety & Insurance
Every job performed to the highest safety standards
Our Safety Commitment
Safety is not an afterthought at Iceni Tree Care — it is built into everything we do. Before any work begins, our team carries out a thorough written risk assessment of the site, the tree and the surrounding environment. We identify hazards, establish exclusion zones and ensure every operative knows the plan before a single cut is made.
Tree surgery is classified as one of the highest-risk trades in the UK. We take that classification seriously. Our safety culture means we will never rush a job, never skip a check and never put pressure on our team to take shortcuts. If conditions are not safe — we stop and reassess.
This commitment protects our team, your property and any members of the public in the vicinity of our work.
Insurance Cover
We are fully insured on every job. We are happy to provide proof of insurance on request before work begins — just ask.
£10m Public Liability Insurance
Comprehensive public liability cover on every single job — protecting you, your property and any third parties throughout the duration of our work.
Employer's Liability Insurance
Full employer's liability cover protecting our team members while they work on your site. This is a legal requirement we take seriously.
Professional Indemnity
Professional indemnity cover for any advice or consultancy services we provide, giving you added confidence in our recommendations.

Full compliance with Health and Safety Executive guidance for tree surgery, including use of exclusion zones, PPE and risk assessment documentation.
Equipment & PPE
Every member of the Iceni Tree Care team uses the correct full personal protective equipment (PPE) for their role on site. This includes cut-resistant chainsaw trousers, helmets with face shields and hearing protection, gloves, and safety boots as a minimum for ground workers.
Climbers wear additional specialist PPE including certified climbing helmets, eye protection, and full harness systems rated for tree work. No operative ever works at height without the correct equipment.
