We recently purchased chaps and other chainsaw specific safety gear to protect saw operators and minimize our insurance liability. Given that, anyone operating a saw will need to be wearing this gear and have a good understanding of the safety procedures of using the tool. In the coming months, we are going to put together a chainsaw safety course and unless someone has attended this course or has other chainsaw specific training they will not be authorized to operate a chainsaw for trail work purposes.
