The demands on the Site Supervisor and Forest Works Manager continue to increase. Having sound technical knowledge to manage and monitor operator technique and performance is an important way in which safety can be improved. FISA has now developed a complementary supervisor course to provide the necessary training update for site supervisors and managers responsible for chainsaw operators. As part of the Refresher programme, and to complement the Operator training, it is also a FISA requirement that the Site Supervisors and Forest Works Managers (FWM) complete the Forest Operations Supervisor Course RUSC01 or FISA recognised equivalent.
This course is designed specifically for the Forest Works Manager, Site Supervisors, Team leaders and those managing chainsaw operatives. It will provide the attendees with an understanding of the basics of saw operator techniques covered in the FISA courses RUFC01, RUWC02, RUBC01.
