About Us
Wildlife Monitoring
Our company is dedicated to wildlife stewardship using hazard assessment and diversionary techniques to prevent attack by predatory wildlife. WorkSafe BC has mandated that remote workers that have a threat of dangerous wildlife are able to ensure their safety. The most common forms of mitigation are bear spray training and wildlife awareness and certified wildlife monitors on site. BCWM provides training and experienced Wildlife Control Monitors to help provide a safe working environment..
Professional Training
BCWM can train your staff on-site or in our classrooms. Our clear language training with practical exercises will reinforce good habits. Most wildlife and human conflicts can be prevented by workers making the effort to keep themselves safe.
In class and field training is available for camp and field staff. Training options vary from bear awareness techniques to bear spray training. We work with you to determine the best program that will yield the greatest benefits.
Wildlife Monitor Training
We offer 2 courses: Basic and Advanced Training. Basic is an introductory program for a new wildlife monitor to be able to operate in the field at a basic level. The goal is to train students to be able to provide hazard assessments in advance of field workers.
