This document provides information on chain saw safety training. It outlines the objectives of the training, which are to describe the elements of a job hazard analysis, define required personal protective equipment, and apply a situational awareness checklist. It then details the various components of a job hazard analysis, types of personal protective equipment like hardhats and chaps, and considerations for situational awareness regarding overhead hazards, escape routes and cutting area control for tasks like limbing, bucking and felling trees.

- 8. 01-8-S212-EP How Chain Saw Chaps Protect the User When a saw chain strikes the chaps, Kevlar fibers are pulled into the chain saw’s drive sprocket, slowing and quickly stopping the chain.
- 10. 01-10-S212-EP Inspection and Replacement Replace chain saw chaps when: • The outer shell has numerous holes and cuts. • Wood chips and saw dust are evident in the bottom of the chaps. • Repairs have stitched through the protective pad. • Cleaning has been improper. • High-pressure washing has destroyed the protective pad. • The chaps have a cut more than 1 inch long in the first layer of yellow Kevlar.
- 11. 01-11-S212-EP Situational Awareness Checklist of Personal Safety Considerations and Attitude: • Am I exercising sound judgment and awareness? • Is my attitude influencing me to go against my better judgment (gut feeling)? • Do I have all of the required PPE and sawing equipment to do the job safely? • Am I in an unfamiliar environment and timber type? • Do I watch out for my coworkers and the public?
- 12. 01-12-S212-EP Evaluating the Complexity of the Assignment • Physical considerations • Environmental considerations
- 13. 01-13-S212-EP Escape Routes/Safety Zones • Before cutting, always: • Identify and mitigate overhead and ground hazards • Establish escape routes and safe zones • Establish cutting area control
