The Forest Industry Engineering Association has announced its flagship forest safety conference series will be coming to Rotorua next year.

The event will run at the Distinction Hotel on March 3 and 4.

FIEA spokesman John Stulen said they were pleased to have secured the services of four internationally recognised forest safety specialists for the 2015 Safety Summit series.

"Each one of our keynote speakers brings a different set of specialist skills vital to making positive safety change for people in forest industries across Australia and New Zealand."

The speakers include local man Wiremu Lee Edmonds, whose son was killed in a forestry accident.

He will be joined by Reynold Hert, the chief executive of BC Forest Safety from British Columbia in Canada who has an excellent record in facilitating safety improvements.

US Forest Service director of the Office of Learning, Ivan Pupulidy will also speak along with Steven Falk, the founder and president, of Switchback Systems in Canada.

The four keynote speakers will be complemented by a series of local industry speakers and safety specialists to keep a focus on the real needs of local forest companies and contractors.

The conference content is deliberately directed at offering value to logging contractor owners and their crew leaders. Senior forest managers and supervisors are also a key part of the target audience.
