HSE state: All chainsaw operators should do regular refresher/update training to ensure they work to industry best practice and maintain their levels of competence. The suggested intervals for refresher training are: occasional users – every two to three years; full-time users – every five years. This is a suggestion. The best person to talk to is your insurer and what they expect from you so that if an incident did occur they will cover you.
