Equipment tip-overs, or rollovers, in forestry operations create a significant safety risk and can occur in an instant, resulting in significant injury or death. However, tip-over hazards can be reduced with adequate planning and training and by following established safety best practices. Specialized, purpose-built equipment is often necessary to meet the demands of timberharvesting operations throughout BC. Undersized or underpowered equipment can increase hazards and put operators at greater risk, highlighting the need to ensure equipment can effectively complete the job requirements. Always complete a thorough hazard assessment before starting work and update it as conditions change. Take the time to get out of the machine and walk ahead to inspect the terrain for new or unidentified hazards that may be difficult to see from inside the cab. The following items should be considered when completing assessments to help ensure a safe and productive worksite.
