This eco-certification assures this company access to the environmentally sensitive Dutch homebuilding industry. The Provincial Forest Practices Code also contains specific requirements and regulations for harvesting methods and transportation operations. For example, skidders are not to be used on certain terrain in the interior of B.C. due to the fragility of sensitive ground at different times of the year. Employment mobility may be limited between coastal and interior forest zones. This is principally because tree size and different terrain conditions require different logging methods.
Organizational differences contribute to the lack of mobility.
For example, on the coast workers are generally paid employees of major unionized companies, while in the interior the logging is primarily contracted out to small, non-union businesses. There is also little mobility between the occupations of chainsaw operators and skidder operators , despite the fact that they often work in teams.
