Chainsaw Refresher

Frequently Asked Questions

Do chainsaw tickets expire?

No – there is no definite expiry period like a forklift licence.

It is up to the PCBU of the site to establish a renewal date based on the requirement to have each chainsaw operator currently competent. Current industry recommended renewal time is 3 years.

What personal Protective Equipment do I need?

3 in one helmet (hard hat, ear muffs, visor –we can supply)

Chain saw trousers or chaps (we can supply)

Lace up steel caps for accredited courses (you supply)

What is a basic tree?

Simple definition; a small round and sound tree at least 100mm diameter, 4m tall with diameter less than bar length, low complexity overall to assess and fall.

Diameter can be wider than bar, lean and weight so that it can be felled with wedges and hingewood control in your desired direction, may have visible dead or broken material in the crown , limited defects overall but can include free splitting species and medium complexity terrain.

What tree falling courses do most people do?

Both basic and intermediate which then covers most tree falling, but not advanced trees.

Why are lace up steel cap boots required for accredited chainsaw training?

This the forest industry standard –gives much more support to your feet and ankle in the uneven tree environment – can be bought with a zipper on the side for quick removal if desired.
