Module 3 Flashcards
Static target
Cannot be moved. Buildings, utility
Movable targets
Can be relocated, sculptures, tables, parked cars, equipment
Mobile target
In motion and moving, people, cars
Occupancy rates
Amount of time targets are within the target zone. Classified as constant (building, busy freeways) frequent (large portion of the day or week), occasional (country roads, low use parks) and rare.
Likelihood of impact
High, medium, low, very low
Consequences of failure
Severe (death or hospitalization, expensive vehicle, house, power lines), significant (injury, damage to vehicle, power lines), minor (small injury, damage to deck, moderate damage to vehicle, short term disruption of traffic), negligible (scratch to a person, damage to lawn, neighborhood st)
Degree of harm
Amount or extent of injury, damage or disruption
Stratifying targets
A process for classifying targets according to importance or value
Prioritizing targets
A process for ranking targets according to importance of value
Likelihood of impact is determined by
Occupancy rates
Location within target zone
Protection factors
Direction of fall
Consequences of failure are affected by
Tree or tree part size
Fall distance of tree or tree part fall
Protection factors
Target value/ damage
Distance of fall
The greater the distance from the tree to the target, the greater the force upon impact
During target assessment look at
Static, movable and mobile targets Look each target in relation to the target zone Occupancy rate of target Protection factors of each target Direction of fall Practicality to move or restrict target
