Independent Companies

To address to the unique characteristics and business challenges of an independent company, the BC Forest Safety Council has established a registration option and program certification requirements that depend on what type of independent operation you are.

Given the direction and guidance the BC Forest Safety Council has to offer, the process for obtaining your SAFE Company certification may not be as difficult as you think.

In order to obtain your SAFE Company Certification, your independent company needs to go through the following steps:

Step 1 – Complete and Submit SAFE Companies Application Form

The registrations fee for an independent company is $132.50. On-line registration is available by clicking on the icon below.

You can also download a pdf version of the registration form by clicking here
Completed forms can be mailed or faxed to the Council.

Fax: 250.741.1068

Mailing Address:
BC Forest Safety Council
#103 - 65 Front Street
Nanaimo, BC V9R 5H9

Within the independent registration category, your company will be classified in one of the following groups.
