LogSafe and Smart: Minnesota OSHA's LogSafe Program Takes Root.
Honerman, James
Job Safety & Health Quarterly, v10 n4 p32-39 Sum 1999

An OSHA-approved state program in Minnesota provides annual safety seminars to about two-thirds of the state's full-time loggers, delivered near their homes. Logging accidents and insurance rates have fallen. (SV)
