Chainsaw Safety The storm is over and it’s clean-up time. Each year 40,000 people are injured in chainsaw accidents. Protect yourself by wearing safety glasses, gloves and earplugs -- and by staying off ladders and roofs. Be sure to remove nearby debris before cutting and keep any helpers at a safe distance. If you’re not sure if you can do the job safely, hire a professional. Be tree wise -- protect life and limbs...
