Logger Safety Training

The logging industry has a long history as one of the most profitable ventures possible, and also as one of the most dangerous. The daily use of chain saws and the threat of falling trees mean that loggers must be constantly on the lookout. Below, you’ll find a list of training topics that are required for most Loggers.
