You only need gloves for the 30 not the 31 they are only advisory to wear.

 

For all Lantra courses and NPTC Assessments you do need Chainsaw Gloves.

[Gollum]

Guidelines from Lantra and NPTC are that you do wear them for training and Assessment.

[Mark James]

Yes and i agreed with you, but if you don't want to wear them for whatever reason you come up with you don't have to.

I agree after you have done your training.

the lad was asking what equipment he would require for training and assessment.

AFAG 301

1 While ❏❏no PPE can provide 100% protection against cuts from chainsaws, the following should be used:

Safety helmet (complying with EN 397). ■■

Eye protection (mesh visor complying with EN 1731 or safety glasses to

■■EN 166).

Hearing protection (complying with EN 352). ■■

Gloves.* The type of glove will depend on a risk assessment of the task and ■■the machine. Consider the need for protection from cuts from the chainsaw, thorny material and cold/wet conditions. Where chainsaw gloves are required, these should comply with EN 381-7.

Leg protection* incorporating chain-clogging material (complying with

■■EN 381-5).
