Safety and health in forestry work. This code of practice aims to protect workers from hazards in forestry work and to prevent or reduce the incidence of occupational illness or injury. It provides a model safety code concerning work, work organization, the handling and maintenance of tools, materials and equipment, and so on. It offers detailed technical guidance on forest harvesting and on high-risk operations like tree climbing, harvesting of windfall and fire-fighting. It contains useful ideas even for countries and enterprises with well-developed prevention strategies, but is especially valuable for those that lack relevant regulations and guidelines. Several countries have already decided to use the code to revise their national forestry regulations. Geneva. 1998. ISBN 92-2-110826-0. SFR27.50. Translation: Chinese, French and Spanish.
