Getting Your Logging Safety Program Started

 

“When I did my first safety meeting on a logging site, I was nervous about how it was going to go. The night before, I gathered up some Safety Alerts from the Worksafe BC site and found a Safety meeting template. When I arrived on site, the owner of the company gathered up his workers and we stood around in a circle by my tailgate ready to get started.”

–Craig Kennedy

How to conduct an Initial Safety Meeting

Here are a few things you can do to get things rolling:

  • Pull out your Safety Meeting Template and have the workers sign in to the meeting.
  • Talk about why we are meeting today. The companies commitment to Safety.
  • Speak about the Safety Accord and what led up to the establishment of the BC Forest Safety Council.
  • Review your Safety Program with the workers.
  • Discuss Hazards, Risks, any general safety concerns about the site.
  • Complete an Emergency Response Plan for the site, get the workers to give input.
  • Fill out a First Aid Assessment, Hazard Assessment and sign the Safety Orientation Check list.
