Safety Protocols
Safety Protocols are the established rules and procedures that workers follow to prevent accidents and injuries in logging operations. Think of them as a detailed rulebook that guides workers on how to safely perform their jobs in potentially dangerous situations. These protocols cover everything from proper equipment handling to emergency response plans. When you see this term in a resume, it typically means the person has experience with workplace safety rules, understands how to follow and enforce safety guidelines, and may have been involved in creating or updating these procedures.
