Description
The trees will be both over and under guide-bar length in diameter and will be both fully and partially uprooted. This also includes the severing of root-plates that overhang the chainsaw operator’s cutting position using mechanical or other appropriate machinery for restraint as well as the severing of partly blown (leaning) trees and the felling of wind-snapped (broken) trees with and without the tops attached. Winches or other appropriate machinery may also be used for restraint of trees with side tension or where the stem is likely to roll.
The course covers:
- Site safety and personal protective equipment (PPE)
- Regulations and safety requirements
- Assessing lying, partially leaning windblown and broken timber and deciding on appropriate action
- Cutting windblown trees using appropriate techniques
