Safetree works to improve the wellbeing, health and safety of people working in forestry. Safetree is run by the Forest Industry Safety Council.

Safetree resources and activities are developed with input from forestry workers and businesses. They aim to lift capability, give workers a stronger voice, and support forestry leaders to create good working environments. FISC includes representatives of forest owners, forest managers, contractors, small-scale foresters, ACC, WorkSafe, unions and workers. Safetree is funded by the Forest Growers Levy Trust.

📹The Grapple Pull📹

✨Reposting with correct video ✨

How good is your grapple pull?

In this video, Safetree auditor Jay Hemopo explains how to safely use the grapple of an excavator to pull over a tree when access behind it is impossible or when pulling it gives better control of the fall direction.

Have a quick squizz.👀

📣Exciting news!📣

Safetree has just launched an industry-first Forest Manager Certification programme.

That means forest management companies can now independently demonstrate their commitment to health and safety leadership to the wider industry and to potential customers.

It's based on the internationally recognised Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) model, with assessment focused on these three key areas:

👉Leadership - visible leadership, accountability and effective coordination across contractors and subcontractors.

👉Risk Management - identification of critical risks and the practical controls used to manage them in the field.

👉Worker Engagement - how workers participate in communication, reporting, learning and continuous improvement.

The programme aim is to foster safer people, stronger businesses and a more sustainable forestry industry.

Want to find out more and see what edge this certification could give your business?
