Safety in forest harvesting operations code of practice review

Have your say to help improve work health and safety

SafeWork NSW is reviewing the Code of Practice for Safety in Forest Harvesting Operations to make sure it is still relevant and supports current and emerging work practices and technologies. We are asking for your help to do it.

The Code of Practice for Safety in Forest Harvesting Operations should be easy to understand. It also has information and guidance to ensure that hazard risk management in current work health and safety laws are applied within the forestry industry.

Tell us what you think

We want to hear from employers, workers, employee representatives and anyone involved or interested in forest harvesting operations. You may be a landowner or manager, contractor, operator, owner of a saw or paper mill, or control a premises where forest harvesting occurs.

Your feedback and suggestions will help ensure the code of practice reflects current work health and safety laws, factors in changes in technology and protects workers and the community.

Consultation is open until 5pm (NSW time) on 19 June 2023.
