Class 1 or 2 Protection

I'm with Joe on this, it's best not to rely on your keks too much at all.

That's right. Imagine how careful you would be in speedo trunks.

If you are not climbing, chainsaw chaps are a good option, particularly good in summer, and usually cheaper too.

Had an odd conversation yesterday with a chap from Fire Service training on this very topic.

There is a lot to be said for the 'being comfy' school of thought. Is you can't work in them, or are getting over hot due to the PPE, the risk of an accident is increased.

So, some of it has to come back to the risk assessment on the day. Not that anyone is going to have a pair of class 2 trousers for cooler days and class 1 trousers for warmer ones.

I have type C trousers for cold days, type a for most of the year, and special ultra light trousers for really hot days...

That one deserves a round of applause, as in fact do most of your other quips. However, what's the phrase about "being sharp"...very apt here. Hahaha.

 

Class 1 or Class 2's, you'll potentially still get cut if you make a contact so, as others have said that PPE is last line of defense so don't go there. Employ good practice n ensure good footing at all times.

 

Tc out there..

Just thought I'd put this out there, kind of amazing really - the action is at 1 minute in.

I guess if you've made a mistake big enough to be cutting into your leg your more likely to be coming off the throttle anyway
