OBJECTIVE:

The FWM is the person or organisation who commissions the work on a forestry site. They can be a sole trader, forestry agent, timber buyer or contractor. They are typically an employee of an organisation who contracts, directs, and instructs the work, including any haulage operations. They can at times also be the Landowner, for example when a Landowner directly engages contractors to carry out the forestry operation.

The WG having drafted the ‘FWM Framework for CPD’ will continue to offer support to the industry on the role of the FWM, in safety information, guidance and CPD advice.
