What are the general safe practice requirements?
- 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.
