Incident Recording Information System - IRIS
New Zealand forest owners and forestry contractors are continually striving for improved safety and productivity. By collecting and analysing incident data the forestry industry is able to build a picture of the type, frequency and severity of incidents and identify the key contributing causes. This measurement and analysis has allowed targeted safety initiatives to be developed and their effectiveness monitored.
