Do you want to join a FISA hosted Electrical and Utility Awareness event in 2024?
The event will be a half day event and is a good way to gain competence development and an e-certificate of attendance will be issued. The event will be free to attend.
We will announce event venues after we have established interest.
The event is aimed to help engender a mutual understanding of the hazards, constraints and the respective roles and responsibilities and is suited to all personnel from across the industry:
- FWM’s
- Supervisors
- Harvesting
- Forest Road building and Maintenance
- Ground preparation, drainage, and peat restoration.
- Machine servicing
- Forest Haulage, including timber haulage, machine low loader, equipment and material delivery.
- Fencing
- Survey
- DNO forestry liaison personnel
The event will cover overhead, surface based and buried services; all are a significant worksite hazard and constraint across many forestry work types and work phases:
- Planning
- Mobilisation
- During operations
- Servicing, maintenance, material, and equipment supply
- Wood product onsite processing works
- Timber haulage
The attendance event has been created to raise awareness of the key issues, outline industry standards in reference to the principal roles and responsibilities.
Attendance by FWM’s may be used as a demonstration of CPD with the FISA FWM Framework for Competence.
If you’re interested in joining an event please let technical@ukfisa.com know with your name, number of attendees and your location. We will be back in touch once venues and dates are available.
