This directive's primary intention was to remove the need for testing and documentation for each seperate member state and covers a very wide range of products including Chainsaw PPE<br /><br /><br />The Office of Public Sector Information in the UK - <a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2002/20021144.htm">Statutory instrument 2002 no. 1144</a>.This is the Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2002.<br />This <a href="http://www.blogger.com/SI%202002/1144%20-%20Print%20version%20%28PDF%20-%20127%20KB%29">CLICK HERE</a> is a Printable version.<br /><br />The European Directive and Uk Regulation are being reviewed as their is difficulty implementing the Directive uniformly across all member states. Work must still be carried out to standardise testing procedures and self certification programs.<br /><br />Industry Good Practice for the use of chainsaw PPE is availble from the HSE in the form of AFAG leaflets. For example:<br /><br />AFAG 303 Chainsaw snedding: <a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/afag303.pdf">http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/afag303.pdf</a><br />AFAG 301 Using Petrol Driven Chainsaws: <a href="http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/afag301.pdf">http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/afag301.pdf</a><br /><br /><br />This is a section of the Good practice for Personal Protective Equipment from AFAG 301:<br /><br /><span></span><br /><br /><div style="margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44393285@N07/4080615182/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4080615182_bc868fb909_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></span><br /><span style="margin-top: 0px;font-size:0;" ><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/44393285@N07/4080615182/">AFAG301</a><br />Originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/44393285@N07/">RaptorGloves</a><br /><br /></span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a title="data:post.title" url="data:post.url" class="addthis_button"><img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/sm-share-en.gif" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border: 0pt none ;" width="83" height="16" /></a><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pub=xa-4add896a6aa53c45"></script></div><br /><!-- AddThis Button END -->Raptor Gloveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07888626288170303955noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916458460982520915.post-47128637437551410122009-10-20T02:34:00.000-07:002009-10-20T03:03:47.652-07:00Free Chainsaw Gloves<div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:180%;" >Competition to win a FREE pair of Chainsaw Gloves by RAPTOR</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size:130%;">Get to grips</span> with your own <span style="font-size:180%;">free</span> pair of gloves by entering your details in the box below.
