Abstract
This report was commissioned by The National Institute for Future Forest Products Innovation (NIFPI) to review and evaluate industry cabin-protection related concerns, make appropriate recommendations and develop an associated industry-wide cabin protection guide. As such, this report is not intended as or designed to be a comprehensive best practice guide for machine operation but rather a best management guide on the protective structures designed to safeguard machine occupants (FOPS [Falling Object Protective Structures], ROPS [Roll Over Protective Structures, OPG [Operator Protective Guards]).
Project objectives: The objective of the project was to provide the Australian forest management industry with a common industry best practice guideline for cabin protection equipment of mobile forestry machines based on current national and international standards and best practices, to ensure consistency in safety of equipment selection, modification and purchase.
