The Forest Practices for Contractors guide supports the unit of competency FWPCOR2203 Follow environmental care procedures. It is part of a set of materials that has been developed to support forest workers who are required to follow environmental work practices in Tasmania’s forest industry. While the materials focus on harvesting and clearing, the same principles apply to roading and site preparation.

The complete set of materials includes the following:

  • Forest Practices for Contractors – Learner Guide
  • Forest Practices for Contractors – Learner Questionnaire
  • Forest Practices for Contractors – Facilitator Guide
  • Forest Practices for Contractors – Facilitator Presentation
  • Forest Practices for Contractors – Assessor Guide
  • Forest Practices for Contractors – Mapping Document.

The Forest Practices Authority (FPA) maintains the Forest Practices for Contractors guide and makes it available on the FPA website.

Contact FPA at info@fpa.tas.gov.au for the above documents, including a PowerPoint presentation for facilitators, and enquiries about the guide.
