This comprehensive course moves into the advanced skills that are required when individuals need to meet the challenges that are a part of high-risk environments. Many workers are often required to use chainsaws in high-risk environments such as during or after forest fires and/or storms. These same workers are often required to cut trees that are toppled, uprooted or that are caught and suspended on buildings, power lines or other trees. Coaching and hands-on time and practice is an important aspect of this course. Participants are educated in risk assessment and work plan strategies designed to ensure worker safety through work planning, teamwork and specialty cutting techniques and equipment. Explanation, demonstration, and practice using ropes, P.M.P.s and mechanical advantage are an integral part of this course. The installation and use of pull lines, guying and anchoring techniques used to overcome felling difficulties such as snags, excessive lean and decay challenges complete this practical and advanced technical chainsaw course.
