Chainsaw Operation Courses

InTraining Systems chainsaw training  covers the disciplines necessary for safe and efficient operation of chainsaws in a highly variable work environment. Nationally Recognised Accreditation will mean the issue of  ‘Chainsaw tickets’  that can take the operator from the basics of pre-start checks to the skills required for safely using directional tree felling techniques. Further training is available for more specialized tree work such as intermediate/advanced tree felling, and tree climbing. Risk assessment & risk management, operator maintenance and PPE/equipment requirements are all covered at the entry level with a “crosscutting” chainsaw ticket.

Chainsaw training includes all aspects of the safe operation of chainsaws:

• Comprehensive coverage of legislative requirements, organisational safety policies and environmental issues.

• Basic equipment requirements such as personal protective equipment

• Hazards and safety protocols

• Basic operator maintenance.

Chainsaw courses also cover the operation of chainsaws with a maximum hands-on time using the equipment under the watchful eye of our instructors including:

• Basic cross cutting on the ground – including safe cutting procedures demonstrated for a variety of work situations encountered. Minimum damage to equipment and risk to the operator is reinforced here again in a practical context.

• Tree felling courses emphasize foremost the personal safety aspect of tree felling operations, and give clear definitions on the accuracy of cutting  and the type of cut required; for maintaining good control in a variety of felling situations.
