Key Safety and Best Practices:
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
- This is non-negotiable. Essential PPE includes:
- CSA-approved safety boots (ideally chainsaw-specific with ballistic nylon).
- Chainsaw cut-resistant leg protection (covering front and back).
- Hard hat with face shield.
- Safety glasses or goggles.
- Industrial-grade, anti-vibration gloves.
- Hearing protection.
- A first aid kit, including a sterile pressure dressing, must be readily available.
