The last Safety Summit, held back in 2015, attracted more than 500 forestry representatives and we are very excited about another strong program for 2017.
“The forest industry has developed major new safety improvements in both culture in the workplace and technologies to reduce harm on the forest floor,” says Forest Industry Engineering Association manager, Gordon Thomson.
“Our Safety Summit in March 2017 has a great line up of inspiring and practical speakers.
“Many of them have already delivered safety outcomes for their teams and clients. So, the case studies they will bring are proven to bring results.”
For the first time FIEA has teamed up with the Forest Industry Safety Council (FISC) to organise a workshop as part of the Safety Summit. Details of these workshops will be available on the event website.
