The BC Forest Safety Council (BCFSC) is pleased to announce that the Wood Products Manufacturing sector can now access WorkSafeBC (WSBC) Certificate of Recognition (COR) rebates through natural alignment. After gathering input from the Forest Products Manufacturing sector through outreach efforts and meetings held in throughout 2009 the BCFSC Board of Directors has approved moving forward. The Council is now accepting registrations from the Forest Products Manufacturing sector for SAFE Companies certification and thereby providing access to WSBC COR rebates without the requirement of first endorsing a Health and Safety Association (HSA). Natural alignment is a process whereby an organization is aligned with a Certifying Partners activities in order to have access to the COR rebate program.

More information will be sent out on Monday October 26, 2009 regarding registration fees, how to register, the audit protocol to use, where to access information on external auditors and how to submit your audit.
