Timber Safe
Share this
WVU Safety and Health Extension developed a logging safety management program (Timber Safe) that improved safety and health management and reduced hazards in 31 WV logging companies. Taking what we have learned from those 31 companies, we modified the existing program and developed a new program called the Timber-Safe Network (TSN).
The goal of the TSN is to reduce injuries, fatalities, and OSHA citations through the successful implementation of a community centered logger safety and health program network.
Becoming involved is free without obligation and you choose how engaged you want to be.
TSN includes:
TSN includes:
- Frequent communications with members through an online and in-person community-based program. This will include meetings, loggers' safety forums, message boards, video conferencing events, podcasts and newsletters.
- A member of our organization is available to assist and answer any questions you may have.
- A “turn-key” written safety program and supporting forms to document your efforts and information and training on how to implement your program.
- The network will be supported by WVU Safety and Health Extension and will assist you with program implementation.
