Sounds like they're grooming you mate!!

At home you dont need eardefenders. HSE (H&S) have no duristriction over what poeple do at home. Of course common sense for a begginer using a saw is to use some protection, but even the term PPE is a work place term that has no bearing at home.

 

We don't call oven gloves PPE.

 

So there is no "should". He "could" use some if he wanted, but A&E will still patch him up without asking too many questions if he doesn't.

If it was my friend, then as a professional, I would feel duty bound to him and his family to advise him that he should at the very least complete a basic chainsaw user course. You can then sleep soundly.

All you need to be with in H&S is ear defender and thats IT You can cut a tree down naked aslong as you have ear defenders on.

 

they should write that line in the safty manual:thumbup1:
