Rockville, MD – The Forest Resources
Association has added a new safety brochure, Safely Loading and
Unloading Logging Equipment for Transport, to the archive of
brochures on the Timber Harvesting and Transportation Safety Foundation
web site at www.loggingsafety.com.
Access and downloads are free.
“We realized that an educational gap has developed with respect to the
safe loading and securement of logging equipment on truck beds for
transport,” stated FRA’s Southern and Appalachian Region Manager, Rick
Meyer, speaking for FRA’s Southwide Safety Committee, which developed the
brochure.
He noted that several recent FRA Safety Alerts have analyzed accidents
occurring while equipment is being loaded, as well as highway incidents
associated with inadequately secured equipment.
Clicking the “Safety Brochures” icon on the
www.loggingsafety.com home page
displays the nine Southwide Safety Committee brochures now available for
free download, including this latest one.
The Forest Resources Association Inc. is a nonprofit trade
association concerned with the safe, efficient, and sustainable harvest of
forest products and their transport from woods to mill. FRA represents
wood consumers, independent logging contractors, and wood dealers, as well
as businesses providing products and services to the forest resource-based
