Logging timber is among the most dangerous, accident-prone professions on the planet. Every day, loggers work with falling trees, heavy rolling logs, steep inclines, heavy equipment, and chainsaws! In this high-risk industry, Liability, Insurance and Logging play a crucial role in protecting both workers and landowners from unforeseen accidents and damages.

Prioritizing Safety and Liability in Logging

The safety of our crew and insulating the landowners we harvest for from needless liability is at the top of the Timber Works’ priority list. Further, ensuring a safe work site is the most important component of ensuring the well-being and safety of our loggers. That’s why Timber Works utilizes best management practices on all of our sites. In addition, we observe all OSHA safety regulations and guidelines in accordance with maintaining a safe, accident-free work site. It’s all about balancing liability insurance effectively alongside logging activities. This essential connection between liability insurance and logging practices ensures comprehensive protection.

Striving to Maintain a Safe Timber Harvest

Still, even when observing the stricktest safety standards, accidents can occasionally happen.

Ensuring our crews, equipment and the property of our landowners are safe throughout the logging process is our highest priority. The crews of Timber Works take specific actions to help achieve this goal.

Logging Safety Measures and Protective Gear

Our logging crews wear protective leather chaps, hard hats, and highly visible shirts in safety colors. We also place clear signs to alert landowners and neighbors about the work. We design every aspect of our liability and insurance policies to minimize risks to our crew and everyone nearby. By integrating logging operations with strong liability insurance, we enforce a secure environment.

Still, even when observing the strictest safety standards, accidents can occasionally happen. That’s why you must choose a logging company that holds full licenses and insurance before harvesting your timber.

Carrying Full Insurance Coverages Just in Case

Timber Works carries a full suite of liability insurances aimed at protecting both our interests as well as those of the landowners throughout the cutting, dragging and hauling process of the logs harvested.

Logging liability coverage and Compensation in Logging

Our liability insurance is specifically tailored to logging offering protection against property damage, fires, equipment accidents or injuries. While it is unfortunately quite common for logging companies to be under-insured and to lack workers compensation, Timber Works carries full workers compensation coverage against workplace injuries for our employees and our subcontractors—a rarity among our industry. Recognizing the intricate relationship between liability insurance and logging operations ensures comprehensive coverage.

Taken together, our robust insurance coverage fully protects us and you against liability issues associated with harvesting your timber and ensures seamless coordination between insurance policies and logging operations. This is just one of many ways Timber Works goes the extra mile for our customers and landowners.
