Husqvarna Classic Surgeon Trousers Tree Arborist Chainsaw Protectors Black

Product Information

When weighing up whether type A or C is appropriate for your needs, balance your consideration of the additional protection afforded by type C, with the additional weight and potential heat build up. Is the risk of heat fatigue or operational stress greater or less than the benefit of the extra protection? While some would argue that these chaps should not be technically called trousers, I have decided to group them all in together because- The braces are also adjustable so if you are a bit taller than most, you have a little bit of extra length at your disposal. Chippers – A chipper is a large powerful piece of equipment which reduces branches and small logs to wood chips that can be used as paths, or garden mulch or taken to a specialist centre for further processing.

One thing I did like about this product is the breathability of them. Even though it wasn’t a particularly hot day when I wore them it certainly wasn’t cold and I soon worked up enough body heat to be thankful that they didn’t add to my rising body temperature. Chainsaw safety trousers are understandably heavier than normal trousers. But they shouldn’t be too heavy that you have trouble walking or get hot and sweaty when wearing them. f) Visibility this helps learners to understand that STEM plays a vital role in finding solutions to real world issues or challenges such as The protective part of the trousers covers the front part of your legs starting from around 5cm from the bottom to just above the crotch.

The trousers are pretty long, adequately covering your legs up to the bottom. They don’t ride up when you bend. Some trousers use high-maintenance fibres that need to be washed often to retain their protective qualities. Others require only occasional cleaning.

As the name implies SWS cut resistant dungarees are chainsaw trousers that are KWF certified to EN 381-5 level. This means that they have been thoroughly tested by the German Center for Forest Work and Technology, so you can be sure of their reliability and safety standard. But the difference between an apprenticeship and a normal job is that apprentices are regularly released from work for training.

Chain Saws– The defining image of a tree surgeon is one where he wields a chain saw! These are available in various sizes and require training with accreditation and experience to use safely. Most of the work will be outdoors in all weathers. The work can be very noisy, and you may be exposed to sawdust and fumes from tools, pesticides and fertilisers. You’ll wear protective clothing such as helmets, ear protectors and chainsaw protective boots, trousers and gloves. You’ll also use specialist rope access and positioning systems. Climbing and Load Bearing Equipment– Tree surgeons use a variety of both climbing aids and load-bearing equipment. Climbing spikes, ropes, rigging equipment, harnesses and friction devices are part of a tree surgeon’s safety equipment for climbing, as rotten branches or heavy detached branches being lowered to the ground can cause serious and sometimes fatal injuries. One of the advantages of chainsaw chaps is that they are easy to slip on over your jeans and then you just use the three straps (one at the waist and two on the legs) to secure them in place. This makes them a good choice if you think you are going to be in and out of the house a lot as you can just slip them off when you enter and not risk getting dirt and oil everywhere, which would no doubt make the wife very happy….not. Forestry workers and tree surgeons would sometimes get up to a year’s wear out of chainsaw trousers, subject to the type and intensity of work carried out. Infrequent users may get a lot more. If they’re only lasting a few months, then it’s a false economy, as you’ll be buying more frequently. Paying more for quality and durability will likely lead to better value for money in the long run. DECISION MAKING TIME!Careers tend to split into two main areas. Forestry is the science and practice of planting, managing and harvesting forests for wood and timber, while arboriculture involves cultivating and managing trees in urban environments, like parks, community spaces and private properties. While there’s some overlap in skills, foresters tend to manage forests and timber on a larger scale while arborists look after trees in smaller green spaces. Both options offer diverse, challenging career opportunities. Personal Equipment – Important personal safety equipment includes a helmet with ear defenders and visor, suitable outer clothing that will not snag or catch and specialist chainsaw trousers lined with Kevlar or ballistic fibres (known as “Aramid” fibres). When the chainsaw meets the outer layer, these fibres are drawn out of the trousers and into the engine of the chainsaw, causing a jam. The chainsaw will then stop and prevent any more damage from being done to the wearer. Leather gloves and steel-toed boots are further vital pieces of personal equipment. Also consider whether you’ll be using them occasionally or daily. If only occasionally, prioritising comfort over durability is an option – whereas for heavy duty daily use in a rough environment, durability is key if you’re wanting a decent wear life out of your chainsaw trousers. Most chainsaw safety trousers come with bright coloured lines, patches or panels for easy visibility in low light conditions. Woodlands and forests enhance and support our lives. Trees absorb and store carbon dioxide, provide wood, moderate climate, help regulate our supply of fresh water, prevent erosion and flooding, provide a wide range of habitats for people and wildlife, and bring huge pleasure and wellbeing to millions.
