About
Working with chainsaws in the tree canopy is a highly skilled and potentially hazardous job. Our qualification will allow you to demonstrate that you have what it takes to carry out your work safely and expertly.
The qualification will cover such areas as identifying hazards associated with rigging, PPE and Risk assessment.
For professional chainsaw operators working in forestry and arboriculture the industry recommendation is that for ’high risk‘ activities the minimum level of adequacy of training is to a certificate of competence or nationally recognised qualification where assessment is carried out independently of the training. This qualification meets this requirement’
