I'm on ya alright. Like a infection! I could care less if someone chooses to not wear the proper ppe. But don't kid yourself that you're not at risk or that you just don't need. Just admit you're just choosing not to use it and are accepting the risks, not belittling the risks. And I'm cool...

Here is a combination of Sean's training program(we don't need no stinking ppe) and Stump's work environment(we ain't loggers!). :D https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MFIULDrxeEs

He's saying no one plans to have an accident. Wear boots with a toe cap that chainsaws can't slice through easily.

The toe cap seems to be wear forestry workers hit their foot. I don't know where to find the 'stats'. But I know people who have cut toes and I've seen a ton of boots with nicks in the toes. Certainly with no safety toe or steel toe it's best practice to not ever cut near your feet and to never...

From the description of all your efforts in safety Sean I'm surprised you dismiss the need for a steel toe boot so easily. How about for employees running a saw? And I have no idea why you think it would be easier to cut your toes with a 36" bar instead of a 20" one? You never cut trees in...

Toes are easy to hit with a chainsaw. I don't think anyone plans on doing it. That being said. I never wore safety toes of any sort for many years, because of comfort on steep ground.

I guess I've seen many cuts to the foot because I've found that to be the place many skimp in ppe because the safety toe is uncomfortable for hoofing around the bush compared to a non-safety toe. I'd be curious how many 'treeplanter' boots viberg has sold compared with safety toe boots. Everyone...

You know what they say about statistics. I'd bet that would look a lot different amongst professional users in BC Vs what I think that shows is er visits in all of the USA where as we know many don't/won't wear ppe.

I bet boot/toe cuts are way up there too. Just from growing up in a logging community and having logged for many years I can tell you from my personal experience cuts to the toes are common.
