Chainsaw VS Boot

[White Noise]

I often work with another contractor as and when needed . This particular day I was asked to chip and remove all waste , which i did .I was about to leave the site when an almighty scream came from behind the log pile . Chainsaw vs non PPE boot Round 1 saw attacks boot , game over TKO rd 1and the winner wearing orange . Fun and games aside after 9 stitches and a severe telling off by the other half hes ok . The reason mates rates rush rush and all that , hes normally so health and safety aware. Back to the boxing keep your guard up chaps and remember the mouthpiece and cock box are there for a reason.

why did he not have ppe boots on?

I looked at the pic first and thought ouch just like my work mate straight through his chainsaw boot to the big toe, then i read he wasn't wearing ppe!

Chainsaw boots do not give proper side protection, the only protected places are straight on the laces or to the toe cap, side impacts will give you a nasty bite exactly like that.

And i know i was the one who adminstered first aid and removed his chainsaw boots.

i agree PPE only goes part way in protecting against chainsaws.

 

Being careful about what your doing, TAKING YOUR TIME, and not being complacent are the best PPE anyone can use.

 

Hope your mates foot heals soon.

I can honestly say if I didn't wear chainsaw boots I would have less toes now.

Always when logging.

Always while being lazy.

 

That looks like it stings a bit....
