Training and supervision

The code requires that all operators of powered equipment have been adequately trained and must have successfully passed a test of competence. After passing the best they receive a certificate of competence.

Also listed in this section are the qualifications and main duties of a logging supervisor.

As a response to the requirement for training and testing, the logging training team developed and validated skills tests for operators of chainsaws, skidders, loaders and bulldozers.
