The new rules tighten the requirements for education and competence, which results in a supplement to earlier regulations. From 1 January 2015, a chainsaw license is required for you who use a chainsaw at work. Anyone who does not have a valid chainsaw driver's license or equivalent risks a penalty fee of SEK 10,000. The rule from 1 December 2012 regarding that those who work with chainsaws must wear warning clothing, safety boots or safety shoes when working with chainsaws or clearing saws still applies. It is now supplemented with a supplement on competence requirements. The new requirements come into force on 1 January 2015 and mean that those who work with chainsaws must have a valid chainsaw driver's license or similar. This is obtained by presenting an approved result in both a practical and theoretical test that demonstrates knowledge of the tasks to be performed. If the employer cannot present a valid chainsaw license for his staff, he risks a penalty fee of SEK 10,000 for each user. Excerpt from the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations on the use of chainsaws and clearing saws Section 17 Anyone who works with a chainsaw saw must have passed a theoretical and practical test that shows that he or she has knowledge that corresponds to the tasks to be performed. Documentation proving that the person working with a chainsaw has passed a theoretical and practical test for chainsaw use with an approved result must be available. Anyone who allows someone to use a chainsaw in violation of the requirements in the second paragraph must pay a penalty fee of SEK 10,000 per user.
