Chainsaw & fire retardant clothing??!

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I've done some searching and can't find anything so I thought I'd ask here.

 

Do any manufacturers make trousers & jackets that are chainsaw proof as well as fire retardant and anti static?

 

It's a serious question although I know it's a ridiculous notion.

To avoid you asking, it is because of 'blinkered' H&S boffins.

 

Thanks

Al.

That's a ludicrous suggestion.

If the pail contained more than 3" of water HSE would insist a lifeguard was present.

Also if you were soaked in water and exposed to extreme heat the water would turn to steam and actually increase the risk of burns

Could you not just get some fire retardant spray? The anti static one is just daft though. Have you ever used a saw at night and seen the sparks that come off the chain.

Sorbus sell them, not cheap though
