Chain Saw Safety

Target Audience: This CEU-accredited course (DS/DW/WW02094016 at 0.7 hr) is designed specifically for DOT District employees, municipal public works, streets/roads, parks, water utility and/or other city county, or tribal employees who engage in ground limb/vegetation debris removal, are exposed to common chain saw work hazards and the risks associated with limb debris machines and tools. Supervisors and Trainers: Also recommended for division supervisors, agency safety officers, department safety coordinators, and equipment trainers. Post-storm (Additional Emergency On–Call Operators): After natural disasters, it is not uncommon to call on new operators (from other divisions even) to assist as back-up chain saw debris removal crews as primary workers fatigue or are rotated on shifts. This program would orient these additional workers as standby crews. Students will receive a Training Certificate!
