Numbers Don’t Lie
Figures from the Maine Department of Labor show a decline in the number of logging injuries and illnesses since the CLP program began in 1991. While several factors may have influenced this decline, the CLP program’s emphasis on safety, and its requirement that CLPs maintain a high level of skill have played an undeniable role.
