What is a logging worker?

Logging workers are professionals who harvest forests to supply raw materials for industries such as lumber, paper, and wood products. They use specialized equipment to cut down trees, remove branches, and transport logs to processing sites. Logging workers may also be responsible for maintaining equipment and ensuring safety standards are followed in potentially hazardous environments. Their work is often physically demanding and is performed outdoors, sometimes in remote locations. Logging is essential to the supply chain for construction, furniture-making, and paper products.
