LOGGING

Occupations within the harvesting and transporting of Forest Products rank among the most dangerous in North America. This ranking remains high despite a tremendous amount of time, effort and monies invested in making the industry safer. It is very clear that more needs to be done. The Timber Harvesting and Transportation Safety (THATS) Foundation has made its mission to ensure that safety-related materials are available for use in developing safer work environments and work techniques... Ten of thousands of dollars in grant money has been provided by THATS to individuals and organizations who have developed safety materials and programs for the Forestry Industry. In cooperation with the Forest Resources Association and their distribution abilities, these grant funded materials and programs have been used by state forestry associations, professional logger associations, privately and publicly owned forest products companies and other forestry organizations have educated their workers..
