Representatives from many of the leading industry organisations joined together to form a steering group. Together we have developed a Forest Industry Safety Accord (FISA) which sets out the commitment that each organisation, and the sector at large, can make to raise the standard of health and safety in their place of work.

As a FISA registered Company, we agree to commit to improving Health & safety within our business. Our responsibilities include ensuring we are following all relevant and current Industry guidance and best practice, making sure all operators have update Chainsaw training every 5 years and undergoing Continuing professional development.
