We require that your crew-members complete at least 4 hours of formal training a year. Each quarter the program sends out trainings for timber cutters and cable logging to meet the 4-hour training requirement.
There is also a formal 4-hour training requirement for company owners and/or their designated safety person. To learn more about this requirement read the Training Requirements Policy outlining allowable meetings and conferences you can attend.
