Following registration and receipt of payment all companies that register receive a registration package.  Companies using the SEBASE or BASE audit standard will receive a Safety Toolkit, which is a comprehensive resource that is designed to help companies develop a health and safety program, or check that their existing program meets current sector safety standards. Individual Owner Operators (IOO) will recieve a SAFEty Log book.  A copy of the Safety Toolkit or SAFEty Log Book is mailed to your company once your registration is complete. The package also includes a CD of safety forms, templates, and sample policies that you can use to develop and improve your company’s safety program.

Small employers also have access to the services of a Safety Advocate. Safety Advocates are people with many years of experience in the BC forest harvesting sector. They are trained by the Council to review the programs of small employers and provide advice on how to develop or improve those programs or provide assistance with the final stages of your small employer audit submission. The service is free of charge to you, provided you and your company meet the required criteria.
