Notice that the Secretary of Labour has asked the Minister of Labour to review the code of practice pursuant to section 20(1)(a) of the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992.

There is an industry working party that is reviewing this current code and the outcome of this review will be to either review this Approved Code of Practice for Forestry Operations (1999) or possibly incorporate the material from some of the other Forestry Approved Codes of Practice.

We are seeking input and feedback on the current code.

The current code is available on the Department of Labour’s website

www.dol.govt.nz
