- VOL-VCA: this is one safety certificate for operational managers, awarded by the Provincial Safety Institute of Antwerp. It demonstrates the competence regarding the knowledge and skills to always and in all circumstances safe to be able to work, with the ability to recognize and inventory risks, how to deal with them, what precautions to take, how to prevent an accident (however small) at all times, etc.

Sometimes a permit is required
Also remember that in some cases there is a permit necessary to clean up the storm damage.
If the tree has only been partially affected by storm damage and the trunk with branches still stands upright and there is no immediate danger, it is often not permitted to fell the tree without a felling permit.
However, an emergency killing due to acute danger is an exception.
Some good advice: don't try to clean up storm damage yourself felling or pruning of dangerous trees. Things can and will quickly go wrong if you are not specialized and have the necessary professional skills.
