Guidelines for silviculture health and safety plans and joint health and safety committees |
| In collaboration with WorkSafeBC and FERIC the Project is partially funding and supporting a study of the potential risks to treeplanters from handling seedling fertilizers and the possible exposure to nursery chemical residues on seedlings. |
| The Project and the WSCA are collaborating with BC Timber Sales, the Employment Standards Branch, and regional health authorities to aid in inspections and enforcement of workplace health and employment regulations. The success of these efforts hinge on consistent compliance by silviculture contractors with Workers Compensation Act Regulations requiring filing notice of commencement of forestry operations. |
