Each individual working in the forestry industry has the responsibility to ensure that they or their workers aren’t exposed to health and safety risks. Therefore, it is crucial for the forestry industry to have relevant and up-to-date information on key work safety issues to prevent injury. To assist Pro-Visual Publishing in partnership with Australian Forest Growers, Australian Forest Contractors Association, New Zealand Institute of Safety Management, Minter Ellison Rudd Watt Lawyers and the Forestry Industry Safety Council have proudly released their first edition of the combined AU/NZ Forestry Sector Guide to Workplace Safety.
This year’s Guide covers a range of topics including, health and safety responsibility in forestry operations, personal protective equipment, fatigue management, work site meeting and the risk management process. Pro-Visual Publishing and their partners have carefully selected safety topics most relevant to the forestry industry so workers and managers can be well equipped and knowledgeable.
The exciting inclusion of Augmented Reality (AR) is a feature integrated into this year’s guide, which combines print and digital to create an engaging and dynamic experience for workers. By simply downloading the free Pro-Vis AR app, workers can scan over any AR capable content and access further information straight to their smart device.
