BCFSC Crew Talk Archive – The BC Forest Safety Council

BCFSC Crew Talks help support a short (five minutes or less) safety conversation at the beginning of meetings, pre-job/shift meetings and/or JOHSC meetings. They are an excellent resource to help enhance and maintain a strong safety culture in your organization.

Each Crew Talk features a poster on the front and additional safety talking points on the back.

Download our archived crew talks to share with your crew(s). There are many topics to choose from including seasonal themes, PPE, health and well-being, injury prevention and more.
