Guidance on increasing the safety of forest work
2018Also available in:
No results found.Resource-based industries like agriculture, fishing, mining and forestry suffer higher incidences of work-related accidents and illnesses than other occupational sectors. This document provides guidance for a wide spectrum of forestry stakeholders. The guidance emphasizes forestry accident investigation leading to accident reporting and subsequent analysis of the accident summaries. Forestry accident and illnesses are discussed and worldwide comparisons are made. Accident reporting forms are examined and sample forms supplied. Examples of successful safety and health improvements from accident analysis are shown. Laws and regulations regarding worker safety and health are examined and various approaches discussed. A summary, outlook and recommendations lead to future improvements to forestry reporting and analysis. The bibliography and references rely heavily on accessible internet and electronic sources. -
Book (series)Occupational safety and health in the future of forestry work 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Climate change, demographic transitions, technological developments and innovation are megatrends affecting forestry work. As the conditions of forestry work change, so does the nature of the work-related risks. Despite efforts and improvements made over the past few decades, forests continue to be one of the most hazardous industrial workplaces, with those working in forests exposed to considerable occupational safety and health (OSH) risks as well as to a high incidence of occupational accidents and work-related diseases. In view of recent transformations in forestry work, and taking into account the recent inclusion of a safe and healthy working environment in the ILO’s framework of fundamental principles and rights at work, this report identifies trends and opportunities as well as challenges to promote safe and healthy working conditions in the forest sector. It contributes to understanding the importance of decent and sustainable work in forestry, with the objective of informing the design and implementation of policies and training programmes to advance a just transition in forestry following the framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, particularly Sustainable Development Goals 8 on decent work and economic growth and 15 on life on land. This report has been produced jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). -
Book (series)The fisheries accident management process
Guidelines for competent authorities
2021Also available in:
No results found.This circular describes the fisheries accident management process. It contains guidelines for national agencies (competent authorities) involved in fisheries accident investigations. It provides competent authorities and their investigators with a structured approach to meeting their legislative requirements to record, investigate, analyse, and report on accidents in the fishing sector. These guidelines are based on international standards, models and lessons learned from various countries where similar accident management processes are in use. The draft guidelines were discussed and finalized at a Train - the - Trainer workshop on safety at sea for small-scale fishers in the Caribbean, which was attended by 30 professionals on safety at sea and fisheries from seven Caribbean countries and was held in Castries, Saint Lucia in January 2020. The fisheries accident management process outlined may also be useful for other regions, which have similar safety challenges and opportunities for safety improvements in fisheries. These guidelines are intended to apply to a wide range of undesired events, such as accidents involving minor and serious injuries, fatalities, vessel damage, incidents involving damaged equipment and near misses.
