In 2015 at the 2nd FIEA Forest Industry Safety Summit series, we hosted 500 forestry contractors, managers and owners as well as health and safety leaders, CEOs, harvest planners, transport operators. Forestry people came from New Zealand, Australia and around the world. For 2017 this biennial conference series aims to give a further boost for practical people wanting to bring change.

Previous delegates will recall the inspiring advice from experienced change agents like Reynold Hert (CEO – BC Forest Safety Council) and Stephen Falk (Switchback – “People can change”). Your feedback told us these people inspired many of you to initiate in your own workplaces. We continue this journey by bringing you more new, inspiring and practical people in March 2017.

It’s clear that many people in forestry across Australasia are fully committed to making positive change. Our 2017 event will support those of you wanting to change workplace cultures and outcomes on the forest floor. This, our 3rd biennial FIEA Forest Industry Safety Summit, will again bring you the latest tools and technologies for practical safety solutions.

We will have inspiring speakers from both inside our forestry sector and leaders in other industries. This summit provides new networking opportunities to learn from other motivated people and gain new information.

FIEA is committed to ensuring people attending summit in either Rotorua or Melbourne find some inspiration and positive motivation for their own drivers to make a difference for their people on the forest floor and at the bushline.
