The refreshed 2019 FISA Guidance on Managing Health & Safety in Forestry (GMHSF), is now available to the UK forestry industry.

Following ongoing enquiries and concerns raised with FISA for roadside working we are moving forward with drafting new guidance to support the industry on the subject. 

Thanks go in advance to those from the industry that have volunteered to help with writing this guide.

If you drive any type of vehicle for your living, or have responsibility for others that drive, you should ensure you are aware of the condition known as Obstructive Sleep Apnoea Syndrome (OSAS).
More associated with HGV drivers who are driving long distances, the condition can also affect others who drive for long stints during the day too, such as harvester and forwarder drivers.

Sitting for long periods of time is bad for our physical and mental health.
