The Current State of Safety in the Forestry Industry — ecoPortal

Описание: How did New Zealand's forestry industry move away from a mindset where it was accepted that "if you worked in the bush, you would die in the bush"?

This deep-dive discussion explores the incredible cultural and operational transformation of one of the country's most high-risk sectors. Featuring insights from leaders of the Forest Industry Safety Council (FISC), this video uncovers the pivotal moments and strategies that have reshaped forestry safety.

We explore the landmark 2014 safety review that exposed the economic drivers of risk, the industry's shift to mechanization, and the crucial power of face-to-face engagement in a remote, rural workforce.

In this conversation, you'll learn about:

The systemic changes that made forest owners take ownership of safety down the supply chain.

How mechanization reduced some fatal risks but introduced new ones, like maintenance hazards.

Why leading with a "well-being lens" is more effective than a traditional compliance approach.

The strategies used to build trust and collaboration in a geographically scattered industry.
