Employers, supervisors, equipment operators, and truck drivers—everyone is responsible for ensuring that forestry workers get home safely. Unsafe practices like failure to properly supervise work, bad planning, errors of judgment, poor communication, and pressure to clear landings quickly can result in workers being injured or killed.

This video shows what can happen if safe work procedures are not followed when loading logs in a landing area. The unsafe practices shown here represent learning opportunities that can be part of a post-viewing discussion.

This video portrays a fictional workplace. It does not represent the forest industry as a whole or the individuals or companies involved in the production.
