    Title: Leg Protection
    Type: Text and Image Slide
    Content:

    Each employee who operates a chain saw must wear leg protection constructed with cut-resistant material. The leg protection must extend from the upper thigh down to the boot top and adequately cover the leg.

    • Leg protection is available in a variety of forms, including chaps, logger pants, and leggings. The protective material also comes in a variety of forms including ballistic nylon, polyester, Kevlar, Engtek, etc.

    • Underwriters Laboratories (UL) currently tests and labels leg protection which meets minimum cut resistance requirements. (Reference ASTM F1414-92a)
