Planning for Plantation Fire Prevention

Fire readiness is a year-round management responsibility, not only a dry-season activity.

Reduce avoidable risk

Maintain firebreaks, supervise high-risk work and communicate with neighbours and workers.

Prepare to respond

Keep maps, contacts, access, tools and responsibilities clear and regularly reviewed.

How to use this information

Start with the objective and site context, keep clear records, involve competent people and review results after implementation. Conditions differ between plantations, so technical, legal and safety decisions should be confirmed using appropriate professional advice.
