PROLOGGERS IN ACTIVE STATUS
The NCFA’s ProLogger program consists of a continuing education element that requires ProLoggers to participate in one 3-hour course on
an annual basis. This course, called a module, is a uniform production that
is distributed throughout the state to participating companies and foresters interested in helping ProLoggers
keep their status in the program. The modules are developed through input from the North Carolina SFI State Implementation Committee; the NCFA’s Safety, Logging, and Transportation Committee; Forestry Mutual Insurance Company; North Carolina Department of Labor; North Carolina Highway Patrol (DivisionofMotorCarriers);andthe North Carolina Forest Service.
