Basic chainsaw safety is essential to keep workers safe from hazards that the chain saw presents. While the chainsaw is relatively easy to operate, it can be a very dangerous tool to use.
Participants in the Chainsaw Safety course will learn how to safely handle, operate, and maintain a chainsaw.
This course consists of a combination of classroom and outdoor hands-on learning activities.
All workers who work with chainsaws must be trained in proper use. (O. Reg. 213/91, section 112)
Participants must wear appropriate clothing, as well as CSA-certified head, foot, and eye protection. We ask that you bring your own personal protective equipment (PPE).
