Operator Protective Structures (OPS) for
Machines Fitted with Harvesting or Felling
Heads
Operator protection in forestry applications and with
forestry machines is a complex topic, due to variations
in regional requirements, machine configurations, and
the type of harvesting or felling head being used. The
machine operator, supervisor or owner must always check
the cab of the carrier to ensure the cab is equipped with
OPS and the OPS is not visibly damaged when working
in the woods. The carrier operator, owner or supervisor
must also check and comply with the local and/or regional
requirements for operator protection required for forestry
harvesting or felling operations. See
ISO 8082 Forestry
– Operator Protective Structures (OPS) for specific
worldwide-recognised performance requirements. Some
regions have additional requirements beyond ISO 8082.
