The Log Transport Safety Council (LTSC) is pleased to announce a series of Contractor Certification Seminars designed to support operators in their journey toward industry certification.

Seminar dates and locations

The series will visit three key regions: Dunedin on Saturday, 16 May, Wellington/Wairarapa on Saturday, 13 June, and Northland on Saturday, 4 July.

Practical support for the audit process

These seminars provide a practical walkthrough of the Contractor Certification audit process, ensuring operators understand exactly how to prepare. The goal is to make the certification process clear, achievable, and highly relevant for all business sizes.

The sessions will cover:

A step-by-step walkthrough of the official audit template
Specific guidance for owner-driver operations
Key requirements for larger contractor businesses
Practical explanations of what auditors look for
An open forum to ask questions and clarify requirements

Strong attendance is encouraged to maximize the value of these sessions for the entire sector. Operators are invited to share this information throughout their professional networks.
