BC Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) is the Health and Safety Association for forestry’s harvesting, hauling and silviculture sectors as well as sawmills and wood pellet manufacturers. We’ve been proudly serving BC’s forestry industry since 2004. Everything we do is driven by our vision that every forest worker goes home safe – every day. Safety training for workers and companies is a cornerstone of our organization.

BCFSC works with subject matter experts to develop forestry workplace training that is relevant, current and useful – because a trained workforce is a safer workforce. Through in-person, online or hybrid courses, we offer something for everyone who earns a living in BC’s forestry sector.

In-Person Training

Each year we offer scheduled in-person courses around the province. Popular courses include incident investigation training, forest supervisor training and falling supervisor training.

Training By Request

To extend our reach, BCFSC also offers requested training, working with host companies and organizations to bring courses to their location. This option continues to grow in popularity and is an excellent choice for those who cannot attend our pre‑scheduled in‑person courses.

Online Learning

Take advantage of our library of free, self-directed online courses for both the harvesting and wood products manufacturing sectors. Explore our list of self-paced courses in General Forestry, Forestry Occupations and Wood Products Manufacturing, as well as courses for supervisors.
