PSCCEAC Continuing Education in Arboriculture Courses: Use of Personal Protective Equipment in Arboriculture and Horticulture Industry

The Development Bureau launched the Registration Scheme for Tree Management Personnel (RSTMP) in December 2020. Qualified in-service practitioners are encouraged to register for the five types of tree management personnel on a voluntary basis. Each registration is valid for 3 years.
