This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) cutting timber; (2) cutting and transporting timber; and (3) producing wood chips in the field.
Start the review with employee injury.
For Logging, the saved research highlights employee injury, heavy equipment liability, logging truck / commercial auto. Confirm how these arise in the actual operation, what controls are used and whether additional services change the proposed coverage.
Questions to ask
- What harvesting methods are used — chainsaw/manual, mechanical feller buncher, cable logging, or a combination?
- How many employees and/or subcontractors are involved in active harvesting operations?
- What is the current workers' comp experience modification, and have there been any serious injury or fatality claims in recent years?
- How many trucks and pieces of heavy equipment are in the fleet, and are any leased or owner-operated subcontractor vehicles?
- Does the operation hold any DOT authority, and is any work performed across state lines?
- Are operations conducted on steep terrain, in designated sensitive environmental zones, or near waterways?
- For Logging, what should the underwriter know about high workers' comp experience modification or history of serious injury or fatality claims?
- For Logging, what should the underwriter know about operations in steep, mountainous, or cable-logging terrain with above-average rollover or accident exposure?

Logging establishments fell standing timber using chainsaws, feller bunchers, or harvesters; move logs to landing areas via skidders, forwarders, or cable systems; and load or haul logs to mills or processing facilities. Some operations also produce wood chips in the field using chippers or grinders. Work is performed on forested tracts owned by others under timber sale contracts, on company-owned timberland, or under contract to larger timber companies.
