SAFETY IS NO ACCIDENT

Virtually every municipal Street and Highway Department has a chain saw, and usually will have several of them. What they may not have is anyone capable of instructing how to use a chain say correctly and, most of all, safely. Accidents with chain saws can get really ugly. Taking the initiative to prevent a possible serious personal injuries speaks well for supervisory management and raises employee morale. Being able to do a visually interesting chain saw safety program with minimal effort as often as needed is worth a lot more than the price of the following program.

VISTA Training has a video guide available in DVD and covers the following critical chain saw safety items:

How to avoid kickback
Proper use of safety tip
Importance of buddy system
Safe techniques for climbing, bucking, and pruning
Personal safety equipment
Demonstrations of chaps, goggles, ear plugs, hard hats, and some other safe operation-related items
