The Forest Equipment Best practice guide has been produced by the Forest Industries Research Centre (FIRC) based on an earlier Protective Guarding Structures Best Practice Guideline document produced by PF Olsen Australia.
The Guideline is intended to support the forest industry in Australia by providing a best practice approach to support decision making in the selection, modification and purchasing of equipment (new and second- hand) in the forest industry.
The document identifies the appropriate standards for the design of operator protective structures for heavy machinery used in the Australian Forest Industry.
