The LOLER regulations came into force on the 5th of December 1998 and apply to all equipment used in Lifting Operations. In arboriculture this means climbing equipment, lowering equipment, and lifting platforms. Essentially the regulations require equipment lifting people (i.e. ropes, harness, karabiners etc., and Cherry pickers - MEWPs - mobile elevated work platforms) to be thoroughly inspected by a competent person at six monthly intervals, and lowering equipment to be similarly inspected at twelve monthly intervals. Most importantly, LOLER requires accurate records to be kept itemising every component and identifying it with a unique mark.

Crown thin - is the thinning of the crown to allow light through the tree, which will also remove weight on larger limbs. Crown clean - is the removal of all dead/dying wood and rubbing branches which will progress into branch or tree failure over time, by doing this it will prolong the life of the tree longer. Crown reduction/pruning - is to reduce the crown by a selected amount of metres, in a correct pruning method, this will leave the tree smaller, letting the light around it and leaving it a good shape. Crown raise - is the removal of the lower branches over hanging gardens, roads, footpaths, etc to a selected height. Branch/limb removal - is the removal of selected branches. Tree removal - is the take down of the selected tree(s) by section-ally felling it, which will be done by the use of rigging which will allow large or small amounts of brush or timber on ropes slowly over or around obstacles.
