Course Details What's Involved Pricing and Funding Qualifications

FISA Training

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.

Compliance

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.

What is the Compliance date?

In line with the Operator Refresher training, the deadline for compliance for Supervisors is also 1st October 2013.

Do I need to be a FISA member to be eligible for the Training?

No, the FISA Scheme is about setting a standard within the forest industry and therefore FISA training is available to non–members. One benefit of FISA membership is of course that the cost of any FISA organised training will be at a reduced price compared to that for non-members.

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.

The attendees will be given training on all aspects of saw operations and provided guidance on management techniques when managing chain saw operatives. The course will cover all tree sizes up to and in excess of 2 guide bar lengths.

The supervisors will be given instruction on site preparation, risk assessment, PPE and equipment preparation.  Attendees will be required to pass an assessment test to complete the course.

RAG reports will be issued for all attendees with specific recommendations for R and A outcomes.

Duration: 1 Day
Trainees: 12 Max
