Chainsaw Safety Train-the-Trainer Opportunity

Extension professionals who want to offer chainsaw safety training in their respective counties should plan to attend Chainsaw Safety Train-the-Trainer events this fall. The workshops will provide education on basic chainsaw operation, personal protective equipment, and curriculum. No experience with a chainsaw is necessary. Two training sessions are required: 

  1. Sept. 16-18: Attend and participate in the Safe Chainsaw Operation (on the hour) and Chainsaw Maintenance (on the half hour) during Farm Science Review.  

  1. Oct. 9: Attend a full-day, in-person training at Ohio State Mansfield.  

Note: Attendance at the FSR sessions is mandatory in order to participate in the full day session in October. If you will not be at FSR, please reach out to Jim Downs or Lee Beers to make alternate arrangements.
