SURVEY: Temporary Traffic Control on Private Forest Roads
Following a review of reported incidents within the IRIS database and WorkSafe assessments, temporary traffic control on private forest roads has been identified as an area that needs urgent review.
Before the TAG begins its substantive work, we want to hear from the people who have actually used the BPG – forest owners, contractors, operators, and health and safety practitioners. The following survey will help us gather feedback on this topic.
You know where it works, where it falls short, and what has changed in the 18 years since it was written, please share your thoughts with us.
We will also be surveying recreational users (more information further down this page).
Your responses will directly inform the TAG's decisions. This is your opportunity to shape the revised BPG before it is drafted.
Responses and privacy
PLEASE NOTE: Industry submissions closed on Friday 19 June 2026. They are now open for recreational users only.
Your responses will be seen only by the programme manager and used solely to inform the TAG's work. Individual responses will not be shared with anyone else. If you are happy to be contacted to discuss your responses further, please indicate in the final survey question.
Any questions or concerns, please contact Programme Manager Nic Steens.
RECREATIONAL FOREST USERS
FISC has prepared a short set of questions specifically designed for recreational users – plain language questions that take only a few minutes to complete. We encourage recreational forest users to complete these.
