i recently looked into becoming a faller and found out that new faller training in b.c. is a ten thousand dollar course, plus hst plus gear and accommodations its closer to twenty thousand dollars for a one month course !! this seems like a big cash grab for the insurance companies or whoever is secretly in charge.
i realize falling is dangerous but it seems like a hidden agenda to me, like trying to keep people out of the industry ??
what are your thoughts and opinions ?? is there any other way for me to get into forestry ?
compare it to fishing, as dangerous if not more so and very few safety regulations, anyone can go out on a dragger or salmon seiner.
i would appreciate any feedback and with luck it will be a prolific discussion, thanks.
