Logging

Don’t jack with safety.

Timber harvesting is hazardous. The degree of attention to safety and loss control by many employers and employees is much less than it could be. The logging industry continues to report high injury frequency and severity rates.*

When it comes to vehicle safety the following thought process doesn’t help either – “if I’m not driving on the highway, then I don’t have to follow the DOT rules.”  “DOT rules” exist in order to prevent commercial motor vehicle crashes, injuries and fatalities. For example, all the time a driver spends at the harvest site counts towards their allowable on-duty time.  There may be some limited “farm vehicle” exceptions, but the smart thing to do is to play it safe all the time.  Thorn Valley can assess commercial auto liability exposures, as well as harvest site inland marine exposures,
