This book is one in a series of Minimum Industry Standards produced by Arboriculture Australia Ltd and the New Zealand Arboricultural Association, in consultation with the national arboriculture community in both countries.

These industry peer-reviewed documents provide a 'body of knowledge' which is shared by practitioners, and can be used as the basis for training, dissemination of skills and professional development.

This Standard covers the work tasks of preparing, maintaining and using stump grinders, as well as a range of considerations for selection of an appropriate grinder and applicable safety considerations.
