As forestry operations enter their peak season alongside the forest fire prevention ban, logging activities are exposed to multiple hazards including electrical shock, falling object impacts, and the risk of wildfires. To mitigate these dangers, Jiangwan Town recently convened its 2026 forestry production safety training session, focusing on safe management of hazardous tree removal, disposal of dead trees, and compliance with forest fire prevention regulations. The event also featured a safety assessment test for logging supervisors, reinforcing knowledge through examination to strengthen the town's forestry protection framework.
Held at the training venue, the session adhered to principles of "full coverage, no blind spots, and practical effectiveness," delivering systematic instruction on hazard identification, standardized procedures, on-site control, emergency response, cleanup workflows, and fire prevention. A key emphasis was placed on abandoning experience-based judgment in tree felling—operators must thoroughly survey the site beforehand, and any trees pressing on power lines require power and signal disconnection before work commences, strictly prohibiting cutting in energized conditions. Personnel are mandated to wear safety helmets, harnesses, and high-visibility vests, with a hard ban on unlicensed operations and alcohol consumption during work. Large or unstable trees must be secured with ropes and cut in segments using chain saws. Additionally, strict adherence to the forest fire ban is required, with prohibitions on smoking, picnicking, burning debris, or hill clearing near forest edges to eliminate fire sources at their origin.
The training underscored that all work sites must be enclosed with warning tape and signage, while roadside operations demand pre-placed traffic guidance signs and dedicated personnel to manage passage, firmly evacuating or dismissing unrelated individuals—prioritizing safety over convenience. In the event of electrical shock, impact injuries, or fire outbreaks, the first step is to isolate the hazard source before attempting rescue, avoiding reckless dragging that could cause secondary harm, and immediately reporting any signs of fire. After felling is complete, crews must promptly clear the site and re-inspect surrounding decaying trees to prevent a cascading collapse situation.
To verify the effectiveness of the instruction, logging managers on site underwent a forestry harvesting safety examination covering hazard identification, operational processes, emergency protocols, and fire prevention regulations. This training initiative has significantly bolstered safety awareness among workers, standardized logging practices, and elevated the town's overall forestry risk management capabilities.
Moving forward, Jiangwan Town will persist in regular oversight of forestry production safety, intensify patrol and inspection efforts, conduct follow-up reviews of rectification measures, and enforce the forest fire ban rigorously. These steps aim to curb safety incidents and wildfires at their source, erecting a solid protective barrier for the safety of residents' lives and property in the area.
