Safe Work Procedures
Written procedures for forestry tasks, including manual falling, log hauling, roadside work and silviculture crews.
Forestry
A safety program written for forestry work.
The forestry package covers safe work procedures, hazard assessments and emergency response planning for forestry crews, including remote and coastal sites.
What the Package Covers
Four parts, each written for forestry work.
Hazard Assessments
Forestry hazard assessments, with FLHA variants for the different kinds of work your crews do.
Emergency Response Planning
Planning for remote and coastal sites, including check-in procedures for workers working alone or in isolation.
SEBASE Audit Alignment
Your program is lined up with SEBASE, one of the audit streams used for SAFE Companies certification.
Where Certification Fits
SAFE Companies is the certification program for BC forestry.
The BC Forest Safety Council describes SAFE Companies as BC’s forestry safety-certification program. The forest sector created it as a prequalification requirement for bidding on forestry work in BC. See the BC Forest Safety Council page (checked November 2026).
Audit Streams
The BC Forest Safety Council uses four audit streams: IOO, ISEBASE, SEBASE and BASE. Which one applies depends on the size of your company.
One Audit, Two Programs
Companies submit annual audits to meet their SAFE and COR requirements, so one audit serves both.
The Certification-Ready package includes a gap analysis against COR or SAFE Companies, and we recommend which one fits your industry and your client contracts. A manual supports compliance. It does not guarantee certification, and you remain responsible for running your program.
