SAFER Council's mission is to assist workers and employers in the B.C. Forest Industry to improve accident prevention and create a healthy environment, on and off the job.

To reach this safety goal, SAFER has taken a leadership role in the development of safety training sessions for workers. New ideas are encouraged and reviewed by the SAFER council.

The council is funded through "The 1/2 Cent Fund" (employer contributions of 1/2 cent for every employee hour worked). SAFER is jointly managed by Steelworkers and the Coastal and Southern Interior forest industry.

We offer industry-recognized specialized courses in workplace safety education. The SAFER instructional methods have gained a reputation for offering participants valuable safety management resources that greatly benefit their respective operational environments. Check back soon for new programs and schedules. The SAFER Crew Boat Training Certificate program was, and is the industry standard. People that earn the certificate offered through SAFER will not only meet, but exceed Transport Canada operational requirements. It offers the best possible education both in the class room and in a practical operational environment. For more information on this program, [ Click here ]

Where we have been lately:

2012 Annual BC Truck Loggers Association Convention and Trade Show - Victoria, BC, January 18~20, 2012

SAFER recently hosted conferences in Kelowna and Cranbrook featuring topics such as Excellence in Leadership, Bill C-45 Employer work place safety obligations, Switchbacking and Human Factors. Both conferences were attended by approximately 60 people, and were regarded as being informative and timely.

We were also in Vavenby early in November in conjuction with the BC Federation of Labour, hosting a workplace safety workshop featuring basic Occupational Health and Safety training.
