Guidance on how forestry companies can open safely at Covid-19 Alert Level 3 will be in place by Monday, according to the Forest Industry Safety Council.
FISC National Safety Director Fiona Ewing said in a statement today the guidance had been developed with strong input from industry and provided clear and detailed advice on how forestry companies could work in a way that prevents the spread of the virus.
"It covers all types of operations across the forestry supply chain, from planting, to harvesting, to transport and port operations.

"The focus is on helping forestry companies apply the key public health controls – like distancing and hygiene – in their everyday work," Ewing said.
