Logging operations around here do very little chain saw work. Worker comp insurance is too high for chain saw work. Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Worked in the woods in my younger years and then in drilling and then underground hardrock mining and mine development. It's true that guys reach an age where they get complacent and they injury stats go up in 50-60 age group and it's just a fact one can't react or move well in most cases.

Helmet, face shield, chaps, vest and gloves. The speed of a chainsaw cut is faster than a human can react.

Well, I found when giving lunch time ocular safety recommendations to the then big Texaco wheels at the country club that i should wait until after they had eaten to show them pics and X Rays of nails and metal that had penetrated into eyes and brains of unlucky patients. I got to take home a few extra filet minon that day after my lunch safety presentation was over after several tough oilfield hands turned green and lost their appetite.

Tip cutting is the cause of 99% of all chainsaw cut incidents. If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I was always big on my crews wearing safety glasses but most the guys despised them. I had to put some thought into getting them to comply without an argument. The cheap ones suck, they can be uncomfortable, scratch easily etc. I started buying these by the dozen and it worked, everybody wanted them. They gotta be cool.. problem solved. https://www.stihlusa.com/products/protective-and-work-wear/eye-protection/camogls/
