Below is a searchable database where all forestry companies across the province can share information about recent incidents or close calls that they have experienced. The goal is to prevent these events from reoccurring.
Forest Products Manufacturing alerts are now being submitted to BC Forest Safety, so wood product operations can share information about hazards and close calls too. See the link below for the Safety Alert template for manufacturing operations.
Industry Alerts are voluntarily submitted by workers and companies. We encourage the sharing of information that can help improve safety for all forestry workers in British Columbia.
Providing contact information for your submitted alert is optional. If you're willing to field inquiries from others in forestry for more information on the incident, include a name and either phone number or email in the alert you send in.
Search for alerts by using the pull down menu for Alert Type or typing in key words in the Company, Location or Date fields.
Partial key words or dates may be used. For example: typing “Logging” in the Company field will search for all companies with “Logging” in their name. Typing “2013” in the Date field will give you all of the alerts from 2013.
To help you create a Safety Alert, the Council provides a harvesting template and a manufacturing template that can be downloaded and completed.
Please forward your completed industry alert to banys@bcforestsafe.org
