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

For ordering information, click on: http://www.vistatraining.com/html/landscaping.html

And don’t forget, APWA members are entitled to a 10% discount on most VISTA Training programs. For more information and a chance to speak directly with a live person, call 1-800-942-2886 Ext. 305. You’ll like talking to her!
