What it is
- Quantitative Tree Risk Assessment (QTRA) is one of several methods for determining the potential risk of failure of a tree or tree limb. It was developed in the UK and has been widely adopted by tree care specialists across the globe.
- The QTRA Method provides a framework for the assessment of the three primary components of tree-failure risk. Target, Size and Probability of Failure.
- The QTRA API allows users to perform an assessment on a tree where they enter and record the input values to calculate and record the Risk of Harm which is subsequently used to determine further potential action.
