Anybody know of a chainsaw safety class in southeast Texas?

Question

I've tried contacting Texas A&M's Forestry Department but all they gave me was a pdf brochure. All the chainsaw safety classes I've found out about online are up in the Northeast or northern Midwest (Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota).

Answer 1

You could call this toll free number for starters. It's for the National Safety Council. Ask about the chapter for Texas or information on chainsaw safety classes for Texas.
888-222-4143

The two links below are just safety tips concerning chainsaws. When you purchase a chainsaw these tips are also available with the products manual.

Other things you may want to try are check with the local newspapers/ library for books on safety.

The classes up north are probably part of FISTA.

The major forestry service. If you need to be certified using a chainsaw.....contact that toll free number. That organization works in conjuction with OSHA, Occupational Safety Health Administration.

There are 2 additional links for yellowpages. Look to see if there are any near you. Call and ask if they know about any classes. Even though it is lawn and garden; many do tree pruning. Sometimes you prune with a saw ; sometimes nippers(pruning tool)

Answer 2

Well, as long as you get rid of the body when your done, I guess safety doesn't really matter. Make sure your covered in plastic wrap so you don't get like Hepatitis from your victim. They never give you these tips on brochure they gave you anyways. It's as if they never killed someone before, geeez.
