BC Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) has partnered with the Tree Frog Forestry News to host Forest Safety Awareness Week, May 21 – 24. Each day will feature a series of articles highlighting safety in forestry with a focus on the importance of forest safety practices across the province and across Canada will be brought to you by Tree Frog News, BCFSC, and Tree Frog News sponsors.

This year marks the 20th year of the BC Forest Safety Council as the dedicated Health and Safety Association for BC’s Forest industry. Since 2004, the BC forestry industry has undergone a significant cultural and safety transformation resulting in a shift that has led to a marked reduction in work-related injuries and fatalities. Thanks to the collective efforts of the forest sector, we have proven that when we work together, we can reach new milestones in improved safety culture and performance.

Please join us in sharing this important material with your colleagues and within your communities and help us reach our collective goal of ensuring every forestry worker goes home safe, every day.
