Type-A trousers only have the protective material padded around the front and sides of the leg. There are pros and cons to this. On one hand it makes them lighter and more comfortable, but on the other it leaves your legs vulnerable to the rear. This is why type-A chainsaw trousers are only really for use while you are on stable ground. If you live in a traditional period home, there’s a good chance that you have a wood burning fireplace to cozy around during winter. These fires need fuel so you’ll either have to buy the wood pre-cut or chop it up yourself from timber in your garden.Chain Saws– The defining image of a tree surgeon is one where he wields a chain saw! These are available in various sizes and require training with accreditation and experience to use safely.

When buying chainsaw trousers, it is important that you buy the right kind to match the kind of work you will be doing in them (read our buyers guide for more information on this). Chaps like these, that only offer protection to the front of the legs, are fine if you are working only on the ground and can control the angle of the cut with the chainsaw. The UK has a tree-planting target of 30,000 hectares a year by 2024 – the equivalent of at least 90 million trees

Radios – Communication is vital in tree surgery, especially between the climber and the ground crew and radios are a valuable resource. They need to be weatherproof, durable and easy to operate. NPTC and Lantra Awards are national organisations that assess competence of people using chainsaws and other arboricultural equipment. Competent arborists will be able to show you an A4 sized certificate or plastic ID card if requested.

Tree surgery is often performed to improve the health of a tree, to improve its appearance or for safety reasons. A Tree Surgeon will have knowledge of trees as living organisms and understand when, how and why specialist care is needed.For anyone who is in the dangerous but rather exciting business of arboriculture, the central issue must always be on safety. Along with helmets and chainsaw boots, chainsaw trousers have become top of the tree surgeon’s list of essential PPE when it comes to chainsaw work. HOW CHAINSAW SAFETY TROUSERS WORK Chainsaws are very effective at doing what they are intended to do, but our common problem is that they are quite dangerous. Every year, hundreds of people who work with chainsaws are injured by them and often the wounds are on the legs and caused by the operator dropping the chainsaw or slicing through the target too far and fast and that’s where chainsaw trousers come in. The braces are also adjustable so if you are a bit taller than most, you have a little bit of extra length at your disposal. One thing I did like about this product is the breathability of them. Even though it wasn’t a particularly hot day when I wore them it certainly wasn’t cold and I soon worked up enough body heat to be thankful that they didn’t add to my rising body temperature.
