Women's+ Chainsaw Safety Course (Online Portion)
The information and resources included in this curriculum are intended as supplemental material providing examples of concepts commonly covered in a chainsaw safety training event. This online course was developed by members of the Women Owning Women's (WOW) network, is designed for women+, and provides the opportunity for a hybrid approach to learning. A women's chainsaw course differs from a general chainsaw safety course in a few ways. We will cover the extra considerations women may need to make in finding appropriate PPE that fits well. We also discuss different techniques and body mechanics to accommodate our bodies’ different abilities. You can begin with this chainsaw safety basics course online, followed by an in-person chainsaw workshop and practice in the field with someone experienced in using a chainsaw. You can come back to visit and revisit the information in the online course at any point in time, or whenever you need to refresh your memory on a specific topic.
