Sampson Forestry understands that the strength of our company comes from our employees and clients. It is our commitment to provide a safe and comfortable work environment on all of our worksites.
Employee and client involvement in the development of our health and safety policy and reporting unhealthy conditions and close calls is crucial in limiting accidents.
Safety is the direct responsibility of Owners, Supervisors and all Employees.
Sampson Forestry is SAFE company certified through the BC Forest Safety Council.
New employees are properly trained with a focus on the specific tasks they will be performing. The strong leadership of our supervisory team ensures all jobs are completed safely, at an acceptable quality standard and in a timely manner.
Every workday begins with a tailgate meeting to go over safety concerns and hand out maps, radios and first aid kits. Morning meetings promote dialogue and bring to light any inefficiencies, leading to solutions, leading to maximum earnings.
We encourage employees to take responsibility for every aspect of their job. Our past and future successes are reliant on our crews performing tasks at or above an acceptable quality standard and maintaining a sense of responsibility and pride in a job well done.
We are working hard to make Sampson Forestry your ideal choice for the up and coming 2024 season. This is reflected by a large number of returning saw operators and staff. Our juvenile spacing/thinning and manual brush cutting season starts May 5th and finishes mid-October for a 110+ workday season.
We are currently looking to fill 3 clearings saw operator positions for the 2024 season.
