Course Overview

This course addresses the severe risks associated with one of the most powerful and dangerous tools used in both industrial and residential settings: the chainsaw. While manufacturers provide basic instructions, this training delves into the practical application of safety protocols to prevent life-threatening injuries. Participants will learn to identify and mitigate common hazards, with a specific focus on understanding and preventing "kickback", the sudden, uncontrolled upward motion of the guide bar. The curriculum emphasizes the strict requirement for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including cut-resistant chaps, eye protection, and hearing safeguards, ensuring operators can handle the equipment with confidence and compliance.
