Husqvarna Classic Surgeon Trousers Tree Arborist Chainsaw Protectors Black

Product Information

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. At less than a kilogram in weight, you hardly feel like you are wearing these chainsaw trousers at all and the padded protection covers all of the front and sides of the leg well and they would cover even the widest of thighs easily.

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. Stay safe in the most demanding conditions with our selection of high-performance protective chainsaw trousers. Every pair of safety trousers in our carefully selected product range offers their own unique features, but all are long lasting, reliable and represent exceptional value for money. The elasticated waist is helpful for keeping sawdust out of your underwear and so it tends to get trapped behind the bib instead. This is much more preferable for me as I could just slip the braces off my shoulder and empty it out in seconds.For anyone who is in the dangerous but rather exciting business of arboriculture, the central issue must always be on safety. Along with helmets and chainsaw boots, chainsaw trousers have become top of the tree surgeon’s list of essential PPE when it comes to chainsaw work. HOW CHAINSAW SAFETY TROUSERS WORK 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.

Trees don’t only bring pleasure to millions of us – they provide a broad range of career options to help manage habitats and fight climate change. Type C trousers are ideal for tree surgeons, who often have to cut trees and branches in awkward positions. c) Class 1, 2 or 3 Based on the types of activity to be carried out, the saw(s) to be used, and your risk assessment, the first decision should be the type and class of trouser. For example, for a fully trained operative working only at ground level with a chainsaw operating at a maximum speed of 20m/s, type A, Class 1 trousers may be the most appropriate option. These cut protection trousers from WOODSafe are another good choice if you are on a tight budget. They are cheaper than most chainsaw safety trousers but provide the same level of protection.Similarly, a pair of too-short trousers that rise when you bend can expose the bottom of your leg to potential injury. a vast range of STEM-related jobs work with young people to bring STEM subjects alive through real life experiences.

One common problem with chainsaw trousers is that the inside bottoms can often get worn out by rubbing against boots and this can compromise their effectiveness. The makers of these have considered this and have reinforced the trousers in that particular area, so two thumbs up to Husqvarna there. The fit and comfort of chainsaw safety trousers are an essential part of their safety. A too tight trouser can cause the chainsaw to reach your skin. So, for things like chopping firewood they are perfectly fine, but if you plan to get up on a ladder to take out some overhanging branches, you would be better off with something that offers more all-round protection due to the increased risk of injury.
