Thursday 28th April is Workers Memorial Day – when around the world people remember those killed on the job. It’s a day to remember the 4 forestry workers who died this year in New Zealand – and the 23 who died in the previous 5 years.
Thursday’s a chance to draw attention to the big risks in our industry – the activities that kill people. And to remind ourselves of the controls we’ve got in place to stop that happening.
It’s a day for talking to the team about what’s going well and what people are concerned about. This could be at a regular pre-start crew meeting or team meeting, or a special meeting to mark the day.
