• Tree felling certification development started in 2005 at Nelson Forests.
• First assessments were completed at NFL 2006. • All Fallers at NFL achieved certification by 2007 • Industry started looking at reapplying this program across
industry with the FOA in 2008 • Joint work for both Faller and Breaking out Certification with
ACC started also in 2008. • Hancock and NFL both have implemented internal processes
2016
It is now 2017, Currently FISC and the OAG are continuing work to move it ahead BUT Why is a proven effective competency program for high risk tasks slow to move forward?

• The word “certification” • Cost and availability of resources to deliver the training
and assessment • Wide range of standards and expectations around what
makes a “Professional” faller • No systems to track, maintain and monitor the results,
follow up, individual and company information • Lack of understanding of the difference between current
training/assessment and certification GOOD NEWS Many companies see the value and have developed this process internally with the support of FISC and the OAG. We have about 100 “certified” Professional Fallers today across industry.

GOOD NEWS • Although many fallers are
nervous after going thorough process have seen it as a positive.
• Fallers will tell you after 10 years we are still improving and learning

Have a look on Safetree. The assessment is there for you to review and complete your own mini assessment. Remember the strength in the process is a good external assessor and ongoing learning and development. Talk to the OAG about getting involved.
