Hello, everyone.

Mandatory Use of Protective Clothing for Chainsaw Operatorsが
It went into effect on August 1.
This is a mandatory requirement for all of us—slope maintenance contractors and construction companies in general. It’s not limited to the forestry industry.
| Businesses must require workers performing tree-felling operations with chainsaws and similar tasks to wear protective clothing designed to prevent lower-limb lacerations,
Also,Require the worker in question to wear the protective clothing designed to prevent cutsto continue doing so. *Excerpt from the Occupational Safety and Health Regulations* |
Even if you only use a chainsaw occasionally, you absolutely must use it.
If you're thinking, "I don't want to buy a whole pair of pants...," we have chaps.
There seem to be many different types, and any brand will do, but as a minimum requirement,
JIS T 8125 (Japanese Industrial Standard)
ISO 11393 (International Standard)
EN 381-5 (European Standard)
Please purchase the standard product.
It seems that injuries from a chainsaw can be quite serious, and the wounds are said to be slow to heal.
If you ever use a chainsaw in the future, be sure to wear protective gear.
If you don't have one, please purchase one as soon as possible and proceed with the work.
As a director, saying things like “I forgot” or “I didn’t know” is unacceptable!
Directors definitely need to know this.
If an accident occurs because a worker failed to use the equipment, the site representative or the company will undoubtedly be held liable.
Please make sure everyone is fully informed before proceeding with the work.
By the way, you'll also need goggles, a helmet, and other gear, so don't forget them.
In particular, older miners tend to be reluctant to wear protective gear, which makes things a bit tricky, but let’s make sure to educate them thoroughly.
See you later.
