    TEXT VERSION OF TITLE SLIDE:

    Title: What are the general safe practice requirements?
    Type: Text Slide
    Content:

    • Employees must be spaced and the duties of each employee must be organized so the actions of one employee will not create a hazard for any other employee.

    • Assess for and limit hazards associated with electrical storms, strong winds which may affect the fall of a tree, heavy rain or snow, extreme cold, dense fog, fires, mudslides, and darkness.

    • Trees must be felled in a manner that does not create a hazard to employees (i.e. work areas must be assigned so that trees cannot fall into an adjacent occupied work area).

    • Generally, employees must not approach a feller or mechanical felling operation any closer than 2 tree-lengths of the trees being felled, until the feller or felling machine operator has acknowledged that it is safe to do so.

    • Felling must be done uphill from or on the same level as previously felled trees. This will limit the hazards associated with the rolling or sliding of logs or trees.

    • Each employee performing a logging operation at a logging work site must work in a position or location that is within visual or audible contact with another employee.

    • The employer must account for each employee at the end of each workshift.
