We are excited to announce, this February we have teamed up with FISA, Pontrilas Harvesting & mwmac ltd to deliver this half day workshop to introduce the new FISA GMHSF.
Brief Overview
FISA have released the newly revised ‘Guidance on Managing Health & Safety in Forestry’ in December 2019. The new documents set out the legal duties, responsibilities and nature of each of the roles with the aim of making those duties and responsibilities more straightforward and understandable. In support of the document release FISA, with industry representatives, will host two events in Wales (North & South). The expectation of these events is to brief the key parties in the new guidance and provide working examples of delivery within our day to day tasks. The Event will be hosted in two sessions (morning session for Landowner & Forest Works Manager & afternoon session for Contractors).
We would like to invite you to stay after this session ends to enjoy a networking lunch between 12 & 2pm.
