Safe operation and maintenance of chainsaws.
Essential Work Health and Safety (WHS) requirements, hazard identification and risk management.
Chainsaw components, routine maintenance, chain sharpening and pre-start inspections.
Correct fuel mixing, refuelling procedures and equipment care.
Develop confidence using safe cutting techniques for cross-cutting fallen timber.
Receive practical instruction in safe handling, starting, carrying and transporting chainsaws.
Practice effective communication, worksite awareness and emergency procedures.
Combination of classroom theory and hands-on practical training, one day of theory and another using the chainsaws.
Suitable for beginners, the course offers learning in a small group with plenty of individual support and coaching.
The training will be conducted in a real outdoor setting in beautiful Fryerstown, providing practical experience.
BYO snacks, lunch and water bottle.
Please note appropriate clothing and footwear is required to be worn by participants for the practical day of the course.
