Nga mihi. We all know what it feels like going back to work after a holiday, particularly after the Christmas break . . . it is hard to get back into the swing of things at work — eating, working in the heat, no afternoon snooze, and getting back into regular sleeping patterns. For those of us who can, we ease back into it slowly with reduced hours, taking breaks, looking forward to recreation time after work, trying to make the most of the long daylight hours and warmer weather, especially while the kids are still on holiday. For our forestry whanau, the work they do every day requires them to be on top of their game, to make good (and safe) decisions from the get-go. e support and understanding of their whanau is a critical part in making sure our workers go to work in the best frame of mind, fully prepared for the day ahead. Having healthy people who have their heads in the game, look out for their mates, and are on task, are safe workers. is feature looks at some of the tools, resources and programmes companies implement to help prepare their people for the year ahead, to support forestry workers to be healthy, well and safe at work. We share how some of our companies have started the year with Safe Start-Up meetings, and also talk about a pilot health and safety initiative for East Coast/Tairawhiti in 2020. Safetree provide resources such as tailgate meeting cards to help facilitate conversations; there is also the Mates in Tairawhiti Programme — helping support those workmates who might not have had such a good break, supporting mental health, Jogging for logging, workplace health checks and the Safetree KYND health and wellbeing app. PRIORITISING WORKERS’ SAFETY AND WELLBEING: Aratu Forests ended the year by hosting a loggers’ With the KYND app, forestry workers can enter their health whanau visit so that loved ones could see what workers did every day.
