Mitigating Risks in Forestry Operations
Forestry Sector Guide to Workplace Safety 2017/18 – Released
There are many contributing factors that can create hazards and endanger the safety of those working in the forestry industry. In order to help inform, educate and increase awareness of safety regulations and strategies, Pro-Visual Publishing, in cooperation with the Australian Forestry Growers, and the Australian Forest Contractors Association, has released the latest edition of the Forestry Sector Guide to Workplace Safety.
This is an essential resource for forestry operations managers to ensure the health and safety of their workers across Australia. The guide covers a range of topics including, the process of assessing, identifying and controlling risks, manual tree felling hazards, coupe/harvesting access and preparation, and sunburn and heat stress.
The Augmented Reality (AR) components of the guide provide a space for interaction and a window for more information and resources relevant for the forestry industry. Simply scanning over any AR capable content using the free Pro-Vis AR app will allow users to instantly download relevant content to their smart device.
