EN381 Chainsaw Protection

Chainsaws are a high risk hazard in the workplace, and they expose the people working with them to increased levels of noise and hand-arm vibrations, that could lead to complications such as loss of hearing and vibration white finger, as well more serious accidents if the user isn't adequately trained in how to use one. Taking the right steps to prevent accidents involving chainsaws is to equip your workforce with EN381 compliant workwear, PPE designed specifically to minimise the risks of personal injury when working with chainsaws.

There are a wide variety of EN381 compliant PPE options available - including gloves, boots, jackets and trousers. Additionally you may also wish to wear head protection which features a face shield as another safety option. It may also be an idea to use ear defenders in order to reduce the risk of damage to hearing.
