Certification Timelines by Licencee

The following Licencees and BC Timber Sales have provided their expectations for contractor certification in their operations. Please see below:

BC Timber Sales Expectations

For contracts issued by BCTS, put in place a requirement for mandatory registration with the BCFSC Safe company program for all companies who wish to tender applications for or work on contracts advertised or awarded by BCTS after April 1, 2007.
