What is the Forestry safe work practice?
Tree falling and forestry work has one of the highest injury rates of any industry. A program for this work covers falling procedures, safe distances, equipment and the training and certification of fallers.
A safe work practice is the written "how we do this job safely" for one task or piece of equipment. This one is written for forestry and is ready for your company name, so crews, supervisors and clients all read the same rules.
