Safe Sawmills
Sawmills have specialized equipment and processes that require a specialized safety program.
Our Safe Sawmill Ontario program is effective in providing a structured environment where safety can be a priority and workplace risks can be reduced.
Safe Sawmill Ontario Program began as part of the WSIB’s Safe Workplace Ontario initiative in 1998. Implementation of the Safe Sawmills Ontario Program through OFSWA has been shown to reduce accidents and incidents, promote productivity and reduce compensation costs.
