In my previous two roles I have been the manager in charge of training and safety for two large forest corporates. Unfortunately forestry including harvesting has had a very high accident rate and fatalities used to be reasonably common. Fortunately it has improved here in New Zealand but there is still a ways to go. With this many incidents occurring alot of focus was put on accident reporting, investigation and analysis of the causes. The results of this focused intensive research into accident prevention and continues to do so. As a manager I needed a software package that could handle the large amount of incidents and carry out very detailed analysis including the calculation of all the major frequency rates plus some unique to forestry. As an ex logger myself I also wanted a package that was simple, fast and accessible to my company anywhere in the country. I chose a software package from New Zealand called ISM and over a period of 12 months customised the original program to be forestry specific. This was done with the developer. If any professionals or companies out there are looking for something in this area then consider this product. The developer can be contacted at: Allan Wissing Computer Craft 49 Roberts Road Whangaparaoa 1463 North Island New Zealand email: allan.wissing@computercraft.co.nz phone: New Zealand 9 4245737 fax: New Zealand 9 4242520 I must add that in no way am I connected with the software company, do not receive any commission or fees and in fact no longer use their product in my new role but I always try to give credit where credit is due and recommend those service providers and individuals that have delivered.
