[CANUFNET] CANUFNET Digest, Vol 83, Issue 1

Fri Dec 2 10:39:16 EST 2011

Wondering if Keith would be willing to share these with the general  
forestry community? Safety is enhanced by sharing of information and a  
comprehensive safety program is a large undertaking for just one  
organization...perhaps a national or regional "safety group" (s)  
should be set up to help standardize best forestry safety practices.  
ATV safety is one area with a lack of specific information even though  
it is a high risk activity common in forestry work. There are many  
other common tasks to consider. In Ontario Workplace North offers some  
guidance in terms of Policy framework and certain tasks related mostly  
to logging operations.
