Purpose

The Marine Forest Safety Advisory Group (MFSAG) is an industry-based group intended to cooperatively determine the type, frequency and factors relating to marine forest safety incidences and take appropriate actions to improve safety performance and reduce the potential for injuries and fatalities. The MFSAG will work to bring forward issues, develop initiatives and support projects that are important to the safety performance and health of workers in and directly impacted by marine forest operations. By applying their expertise and influence the MFSAG will aid in the execution of initiatives and make recommendations that drive practical solutions through the development of industry best practices.
