Let s all work together to prevent chain saw injuries. They include moving traffic, hidden objects, unstable footing, poison ivy and oak, thorns, tools with sharp edges, chain saws, chippers, and difficult access to the work area. Keep sleeves rolled down and use barrier creams to control exposure to poison ivy and oak. Where appropriate, workers may relay large amounts of brush to a chipper. Allow space for each employee to work safely.
