What does an L2 assessment entail?

An L2 assessment primarily involves a simple visual inspection of trees and their surroundings, focusing on identifying any immediate risks or hazards that can impact electrical systems. This type of assessment does not dive into extensive technical details but is more about a straightforward observation of the location and condition of trees in relation to power lines.

This basic evaluation helps in recognizing potential issues like branches encroaching on power lines or the general health of the trees that could pose a risk in the future. By understanding the surrounding environment through visual inspection, utility specialists can make informed decisions about necessary maintenance or further evaluations needed.

The other options delve into assessments that require more intensive procedures or focus on elements outside the scope of an L2 assessment. For example, detailed inspections of the electrical system require specialized knowledge and tools, while comprehensive evaluations of soil health or measurements of tree height and age are not part of the standard visual inspection that characterizes an L2 assessment.
