WorkSafeBC is inviting feedback on proposed policy amendments relating to three topics on the treatment of principals of limited companies.
Being struck by objects is a major cause of injuries in the forest industry. These objects include danger trees, heavy equipment, rocks or pick-ups - anything that can move and hit a worker.
Our mission is to support industry to eliminate all fatalities and serious injuries.
I wonder where we would be without TruckSafe and your tireless efforts to bring us all home safely at the end of our work day in the woods.

A mechanic’s helper was installing the left upper rear torque arm on an off-highway logging truck. The worker drove the truck into the shop over the mechanic’s pit, and proceeded with the installation.
Winter built *on-block roads have potential hazards come spring time. These temporary roads are not built to the same standards as permanent roads and therefore should be used with caution.
