永續森林經營發生的二三事...PEFC 森林經營準則的實務整備(C 6.3 & I 6.3.4 & S 6.3.4.2)。From the Concepts of Sustainable Forest Management to Reality: Practical Steps for PEFC Forest Management Criteria(C 6.3 & I 6.3.4 & S 6.3.4.2).

PEFC（Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification，森林驗證認可計畫）與FSC (Forest Stewardship Council，森林經營委員會)，同為全球兩大森林驗證系統。全球林業經營者，在追求森林的永續經營上，所採用的經營標準內容，有否差異呢?我們將瞭解PEFC的驗證框架之原則與準則內容，及如何準備PEFC驗證的要求。

6.3 Compliance requirements符合性要求

6.3.4 Health, safety and working conditions健康、安全和工作條件

6.3.4.2 Working conditions shall be safe, and guidance and training in safe working practices shall be provided to all those assigned to a task in forest operations. Working hours and leave shall comply with national laws or applicable collective agreements. 

Note: Guidance for specifying national standards can be obtained from the ILO Code of Good Practice: Safety and Health in Forestry Work.

6.3.4.2 工作條件應安全，並且應向所有被指派參與森林作業任務的人員提供安全工作慣例的指導和培訓。工作時間和休假應符合國家法律或適用的集體協議。

備註：可從《國際勞工組織森林工作安全與健康的良好實務守則》獲得具體的國家標準規範。

可能資料的整備：

       組織的森林作業的環境必須安全，避免危險因素，並應提供安全作業實踐的指導和培訓給所有參與森林作業的人員。工作時間和假期應遵守國家法律或適用的集體協議。

因此組織應準備以下資料：

1.        對工作場所進行安全評估，識別潛在的危險因素， 包括：機械設備安全、化學品安全、環境安全（如:噪音、振動、氣候、工寮條件）等，並採取相應的預防措施。

2.        提供員工的安全教育訓練的紀錄，包括：新員工就職安全教育訓練、定期安全教育訓練、特殊作業安全教育訓練。

3.        提供確保符合國家勞動法規的勞動契約。

4.        提供能證明遵守法定員工、勞工工作時間和休息時間的記錄。

PEFC and FSC are the two biggest names in forest certification. So, what's the difference between these two systems? Are they asking forest managers to do completely different things to get certified? Let's dive into PEFC and see what it takes to get certified:

6.3 Compliance requirements

6.3.4 Health, safety and working conditions

6.3.4.2 Working conditions shall be safe, and guidance and training in safe working practices shall be provided to all those assigned to a task in forest operations. Working hours and leave shall comply with national laws or applicable collective agreements.

Note: Guidance for specifying national standards can be obtained from the ILO Code of Good Practice: Safety and Health in Forestry Work.

Preparation of possible information:

The environment in which the forest operations of the organization shall be safe and avoid risk factors, and guidance and training on safe working practices should be provided to all those involved in the forest operations. Working hours and holidays shall be in accordance with national laws or applicable collective agreements.

Therefore, the organization should prepare the following information:

1.        Conduct a safety assessment of the workplace, identify potential risk factors, including machinery and equipment safety, chemical safety, environmental safety (e.g., noise, vibration, climate, dormitory conditions), etc., and take corresponding preventive measures.

2.        Provide records of safety training for employees, including: on-the-job safety education and training for new employees, regular safety training, and special operation safety training.

3.        Provide labor contracts that ensure compliance with national labor regulations.

4.     Provide records that demonstrate compliance with statutory employees, workers' working hours, and rest periods.
