Cable Logging - Safety Code for Bush Undertakings Part 2
Cable logging is defined as any hauling employing a stationary machine with powered drum(s), spars, blocks, wire rope and butt rigging to haul logs from the felling site to an assembly point or landing. This code was developed from the original Safety Code for Bush Undertakings. (It has been superseded by the Cable Logging Best Practice Guideline published by FITEC.)
