Frequently Asked Questions about Chainsaw Trousers
- What are chainsaw trousers?
Chainsaw trousers are specialist protective garments incorporating materials designed to help reduce the severity of injury from accidental contact with a moving chainsaw chain.
- What do chainsaw protection classes mean?
Chainsaw protective clothing is classified according to specified chain-speed test conditions. For example, Class 1 is tested at 20 m/s, Class 2 at 24 m/s and Class 3 at 28 m/s. These ratings do not guarantee protection against every chainsaw accident.
- What is the difference between Type A and Type C chainsaw trousers?
Type A trousers primarily protect the front of the legs, while Type C trousers provide more extensive leg protection. The appropriate type depends on the task, working conditions and risk assessment.
