Chainsaws – Safe Operation Basics

The chainsaw can be an extremely dangerous tool if not operated correctly. There are a range of basic preparation and operational procedures that are crucial for safe and successful chainsaw operations.

When working with chainsaws, certain safety procedures must be practiced to protect the chainsaw operator and those working in the immediate vicinity from injury. The most common parts of the body which are injured by chainsaw accidents are the hands, knees, feet and head especially on the left side of the body.
However, with the application of proper work practices, the use of modern equipment, and correct protective clothing, chainsaws can be used efficiently and safely.
