The British Columbia Forest Safety Council (the Council) was created in September 2004 as a not-for-profit society dedicated to promoting forest safety in the sector. The initial focus and tasks of the Council were set out in the report of the Forest Safety Task Force, which created a comprehensive strategy to dramatically improve the safety record of the BC Forest Sector.  

The Council includes all of the major forestry organizations and is fully supported by WorkSafeBC and the government of British Columbia.  You can see a list of our members by clicking here. 

The values, beliefs and commitments that form the basis of the Council and its work are set out in the Forest Safety Accord.
