Safety
Safety is of the utmost importance for all our operations and is a core value for Obishikokaang Resources. All employees and contractors who work on the forest are fully trained and understand how to work safe! With so many members of the public using our roads, we have identified trucking safety as a key area. We have implemented an enhanced trucking safety program to ensure all trucks continue to be operated in a safe manner.
Access
Obishikokaang Resources is responsible for planning, constructing and maintaining roads and water crossings associated with forest management activities on the Lac Seul Forest. Millions dollars are spent annually to ensure roads and crossings are built and maintained properly. This represents a significant challenge, as roads and crossings must be constructed and maintained with safety in mind, while at the same time, protecting the environment. Roads constructed and maintained by Obishikokaang Resources are also used by the public to access the forest for recreational purposes.
Roads, bridges and buffer zones around water crossings are designed and built to protect water quality and aquatic habitat.
