Assessing risks and hazards, limbing and bucking, dealing with spring poles, understanding compression and tension forces are all components of this course. This course will educate learners about why notches and back cuts work as they do and how the methodology affects the success of accurate tree falling. Participants will have the opportunity to practice notching and back cuts in a practical setting. In addition, this course will teach participants how to fall back leaning trees using mechanical advantage with ropes and pulleys. Participants will gain an understanding in what contributes to accidents and how to avoid them. There is a strong focus on personal safety, risk assessment and accident prevention. Training workers in developing skills that reduce variables and mitigate risks associated with chainsaws, tree felling, and the high-risk urban environment is a general theme of this course. Inexperienced chainsaw operators and/or experienced operators who require new or updated training in both operating a chainsaw as well as tree falling. All material in our one day Chainsaw Safety & Cutting Techniques course is also covered in this two day Technical Tree Falling & Cutting course.
