Working in Bear Country

Working in Bear Country is a 20-minute video that provides detailed information specific to people working in bear country. It is especially relevant to industry managers and supervisors responsible for the safety of workers.

Working in Bear Country is not a stand-alone education video. It is essential for people to be familiar with the content of Staying Safe in Bear Country before viewing Working in Bear Country. The script is available on-line.

The major message of these videos is that a much greater degree of co-existence with bears is possible if people understand and apply a few safety principles. These videos will allow people to appreciate bears and the places where they live.

Both Staying Safe in Bear Country and Working in Bear Country were produced by Wild Eye Productions, Atlin B.C., in association with AV Action Yukon Ltd. and the Safety in Bear Country Society. All money raised from video sales will go into a fund for future education and research on human safety around bears to further reduce bear and human conflicts.
