Lead Author: Forestry Commission
The Forestry Commission has produced guidance on biosecurity measures and good working practice for the forestry sector. This guidance is for anyone who works for, or carries out official duties on behalf of, the Forestry Commission. The booklet details practical steps designed to minimise the risk of introducing or spreading pests and diseases. It includes a decision tree which can be used to plan the level of biosecurity needed in a particular situation, and a table which shows the biosecurity measures to use for low-risk and high-risk activities.
