Chainsaws are one of the most useful as well as dangerous tools a worker can use. This seminar is designed to educate personnel who use a chainsaw about safety, maintenance, use and handling. Participants will gain an understanding of what contributes to accidents and how to avoid them. Demonstrations, including bucking and limbing, understanding compression and tension and dealing with spring poles will be part of the day. Developing skills that reduce variables and mitigate risks associated with chainsaws and cutting techniques is the general theme of this course.
