Forest Industry Safety Summit 2015Friday 21 Nov 2014 In November 2013, the Forest Industry Safety Summit (which ran in conjunction with The Steep Slope Wood Harvesting Conference) in Rotorua SOLD OUT attracting over 400 forest managers, forest owners, harvest planners, transport operators and forestry contractors from several countries. At the time the New Zealand industry was grappling with the size of the problem. Many people had started to focus on ways to make our industry safer.Following the release of the Independent Forest Safety Review panel recommendations there's a lot of work to do be done to implement potential solutions and planning a programme for change. As the organisers of this Forest Industry Safety Summit, FIEA plans to be an integral part of bringing people together to boost the motivation and communication for change. For March 2015 the Forest industry Safety Summit will advance the discussion of safety solutions with an expanded line-up of specialists from both the USA and Canada. The focus will be on though people within New Zealand and Australia - bringing commercial and industry-wide funded solutions to the forestry sectors in both countries. For 2015 FIEA will also be widening the coverage of forestry safety to include topics of interest to those working in log transport and forest and rural fire-fighting.
