This should record the detail of any PPE issued, including manufacturer, size, serial numbers where applicable, and signed acceptance of that PPE by the employee. Chainsaw helmets should be marked with date of issue. Records of PPE issue can help refute claims for compensation, prove that the company is taking its responsibilities seriously and can identify unreasonable repeated issue resulting from abuse or careless loss of that equipment.

The fit and comfort of chainsaw safety trousers are an essential part of their safety. A too tight trouser can cause the chainsaw to reach your skin. Careers tend to split into two main areas. Forestry is the science and practice of planting, managing and harvesting forests for wood and timber, while arboriculture involves cultivating and managing trees in urban environments, like parks, community spaces and private properties. While there’s some overlap in skills, foresters tend to manage forests and timber on a larger scale while arborists look after trees in smaller green spaces. Both options offer diverse, challenging career opportunities.The affairs, business and property of the Company are being managed by the Administrators and who act as agents of the Company without personal liability. Note that chainsaw safety trousers don’t just protect you from the chain. They also shield your skin from flying wood chips, heat and oils.
