FISA Safety Bulletin

Historically, this was known as the “Provisional Licence” scheme or “FMOCS” and originally administered by FCA, Forestry Commission L&D Branch Ae & mwmac Ltd.

Within the 6-month duration of the FMO Record of Registration, for it to remain valid, an employer must ensure there is adequate and appropriate supervision provided for trainees operating forest machines.

This is also a legal requirement under Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and can be delivered by one or more individuals within, or external to, a work team.
