In response to recent queries to FISA on PPE, Andy Sloss chair of the FISA Chainsaw Working Group has prepared some advice.

Chainsaw operations remain the highest risk activity within our industry.

FISA spoke at this National Association of Agricultural Contractors (NAAC) webinar that is open to everyone working with trees.

An example of software to assist forestry operators and managers to record competency.
