Quote from staff member: “I once had a stick hit me in the eye and I had to go to hospital for the injury. From the moment I put this helmet on and flicked the glasses down I knew this was the way forward. I will not do my field work unless I can where that Helmet! I feel safe and me eyes are always protected.”

SAFETY STUDY TOUR – BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Key Findings: ! EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLANNING: ! “DON’T WAIT FOR AN EMERGENCY TO FIND OUT IF YOUR PLAN WILL WORK” ! Annual requirement of Worksafe BC that all companies must do an emergency response drill. ! FOREST SUPERVISOR & HARVESTING TEAM LEADER TRAINING: ! Use the BC Forest Safety Council model & develop a three part Victorian specific training: ! Part 1: Due Diligence ! Part 2: Communication ! Part 3: Leadership ! Work on a COMMITMENT attitude towards safety, rather than just a compliance attitude: ! Move from – “I follow the rules because I have to” ! Move to – “I follow and exceed the rules because I WANT to” ! Remove the attitude of: ‘Why should I invest heavily in safety when I don’t get paid for safety’. GOOD SAFETY = GOOD BUSINESS

SAFETY STUDY TOUR – BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA

Key Findings: ! SPIKED BOOTS: ! Are a requirement for most companies for anyone walking in the forest or over logging slash and debris. Could this be implemented to reduce VF’s Slips, Trips and Falls incident rate? ! SITE SPECIFIC STEEP SLOPE PLAN. ! A plan must be done when slopes exceed 18° or what the machinery manufacturer's guidelines say. ! HAND FALLERS: ! Ageing population of hand fallers in BC. One company is about to implement annual mandatory eye testing for all hand fallers. ! CULTURE CHANGE: ! Have Involvement from those that are impacted. The best way to get the required ‘buy- in’ is to involve people, not dictate to them. ! Change the timber industry’s tolerance for risk. Seems to be higher than in other industries. ! NEVER choose to walk by and ignore an unsafe practice.

I Chose To Look The Other Way

I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way. It wasn’t that I didn’t care; I had the time, and I was there. But I didn’t want to seem a fool, Or argue over a safety rule. I knew he’d done the job before; If I spoke up he might get sore. The chances didn’t seem that bad; I’d done the same, he knew I had. So I shook my head and walked by; He knew the risks as well as I. He took the chance, I closed an eye; And with that act, I let him die. I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way. Now every time I see his wife, I know I should have saved his life. That guilt is something I must bear; But isn’t’ something you need to share. If you see a risk that others take That puts their health or life at stake, The question asked or thing you say; Could help them live another day. If you see a risk and walk away, Then hope you never have to say, “I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way.” by: Don Merrill
