The BC Construction Safety Alliance (BCCSA) and BC Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) allowing BCCSA COR certified companies to achieve SAFE certification with BCFSC in order to assist companies who wish to bid on forestry contracts. According to the BCCSA, the process to develop the MOU started when the industry heard of new requirements by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations for SAFE certification to qualify to bid on in-forestry projects. “What we wanted to do was establish a process that was not overly bureaucratic,” said Robert Moonen, BCFSC CEO. “We want to see contractors who are new to this industry set up for success.”
