Safety In Forestry Harvesting And Haulage

This WorkSafe Victoria publication provides practical information on safety risk management.

The aim of the publication is to be a reference document against which companies and contractors can benchmark their current operations and determine whether their work methods are appropriate. It makes good use of colour, tables, diagrams, pictures and a reader friendly layout to make it easy for the reader to source the information they are looking for. Even though some of the specific occupational health and safety information refers to Victoria or Australian legislation, the information is all valid to logging operations around the world.

Some of the areas covered include:A systematic approach to managing risks

  • Logging access and preparation (planning)
  • Timber harvesting
  • Log extraction
  • Log landings
  • Loading, transporting and offloading logs
  • Equipment inspection and maintenance
  • Common hazards in forestry operations

The publication is free for download from the web and can be accessed at http://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/
