Training Video Committee (TVC) UPDATE

In the fall of 2019, four videos were produced that addressed current-day issues by telling authentic stories of incidents among our policyholders. Topics covered include Lock Out / Tag Out and proper felling techniques. These videos range from 3 minutes to 10 minutes long. They tell real-life stories by reproducing the actual event and the lessons learned from others' mistakes. We have expanded our library of content this year to include Truck Driver Safety - The Five Safe Driving Habits, 10-Point Commentary, a Mill Orientation video, and a short safety video on "Why We Wear PPE."

So what's next?

Our goal is to continue addressing the safety issues that our members are facing. This year, we anticipate a new Trucking Pre-Trip and Post-Trip inspection video. We also look forward to producing a new Forklift safety video for 2023. Forestry Mutual is proud of the results of our TVC Committee. We strongly believe their work will continue to enhance our training program through these reproductions of real-life events. We appreciate the time and effort of these committee members, who clearly demonstrate the commitment of Forestry Mutual to provide a safer work environment for our policyholders and their employees through training and education.

We encourage our members to contact their Forestry Mutual Field Representative to view any or all of these videos. Our staff will be more than happy to show these videos to you and your employees and hopefully make your operation safer today and in the future!
