Morning FOSM sawyers,

 

Sharing this report about a chainsaw incident on our sister district to the south. No one was injured, fortunately, but serves as a good reminder for us. This has happened to me more than once, usually after adjusting the chain tension and failing to adequately re-tighten the bar nuts when I’m done because I’m in a hurry. Take the time you need to make sure things are buttoned up!

Please have a look at the SafeNet and ensure that all our sawyers are familiar with the  5 point inspections and are doing it prior to  use.
