Is he a member on here?

 

How much experience has he had, i don't want to be harsh but thats not a great way to get a gob in a tree, was the saw blunt?

 

But, it came down, so job done:biggrin:

This is poor advice to be advertising to novice chainsaw operators. Just look at how he is holding his saw with his thumb on top of the front handle pushing a blunt chain:thumbdown:

 

Would not pass the City & Guilds assessment.

 

The Risk Assessment dictates what PPE is to be worn and our HSE ACOP and AFAG guides require gloves to be warn subject to the Risk Assessment. My recent standard setting was clear on this.

I'm not sure protection to the back of the hand would help much with that.

 

Personally if he worked for me I'd not be giving him gloves, I would take away the saw.
