Description: This 16-hour training course is designed to provide the technical knowledge and basic skills employees or volunteers need to use crosscut saws safely and effectively. In addition to covering crosscut techniques, procedures, and best practices, the course will also go over basic tool care and maintenance.
Please Note: Certification will be a recommendation that must be approved by each local agency orland manager where work with saws is performed.We hope to get everyone evaluated and certified, but this will depend on the number of participants as well as the amount of qualified certifiers available to help. We may arrange for a second certification session if we can't get everyone certified initially.All participants must have completed a valid, basic first aid training for the certification or recommendation to be given.
Camping and Meals: Limited camping will be available. Contact Dan Williams at 303-715-1010, ext. 117, if you want to camp. Participants are responsible for their own lunch and dinners. There will be potable water available throughout the training.
