Faller Certification Levels

These levels reflect the highest documented level that a faller has achieved. It is not intended to be a restriction, but simply reflects the conditions of the most recent evaluation submitted to the BC Forest Safety Council. In many cases, this is the original evaluation done at the time of the faller’s initial certification.

It remains the responsibility of the employer to ensure that the worker is qualified for the timber type and terrain through evaluation and documentation, regardless of the level listed on the faller’s card.

This level may be upgraded at any time by a Council-qualified Falling Supervisor or Qualified Supervisor/Trainer (QS/T).
