Safety Guides

FISA Safety Guides are listed below and are all downloadable for printing direct. They are numbered in the same format as the previous AFAG Safety Guides.

Roadside Harvesting

FISA received a query from an FWM responsible for a site with active felling of woodland adjacent to a trunk road. 

The response outlines that site planning must take place to ensure that the tree works keep within the wood where possible, and the traffic management plan and roadside safety measures are developed and also put in place.

FISA are presenting a great new online resource for the sector – aimed at new entrants who have HGV experience – but maybe who have not previously driven in Forest conditions.
