| Abstract |
This leaflet applies to the manual harvesting of areas where the majority of adjacent trees have been windblown or broken and also to sporadic windblow, within or outside standing crops. Mechanised systems should be considered as a safer alternative. You can use this leaflet, along with the chainsaw manufacturer's handbook, as part of the risk assessment process to help identify the controls to put in place when using a chainsaw to clear windblow. Contents: Introduction; General advice; Preparing to work; Working; Broken trees; Notes; Further reading; Further information. |
