This is a hands-on course that delivers both practical skills and health and safety guidance as well as demonstrating that you and your employer have completed sufficient training to meet the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). Our instructors will guide you through a balanced mix of theoretical and practical sessions. You'll work on a number of appropriate techniques and safety guidelines. Key maintenance issues will be covered. You'll also go over cross-cutting, handling and stacking timber. Course sessions: > HSE legislation and safety guidelines > Overview of the chainsaw and maintenance equipment > Maintaining the saw chain > Maintaining the guide bar > Power unit maintenance > Starting the chainsaw and pre-cutting tests > Cross-cutting timber. Worth noting: Our course involves some physical sessions, so it is essential that you have at least a minimum level of fitness.
