2.2 Wood Handling Safety
WARNING!!! - NEVER HANDLE WOOD ON THE SAWN ENDS;
BLOCKS SHOULD ALWAYS BE HELD BY THE BARK SIDES!
HANDLING BLOCKS ON THE SAWN END INCREASES RISK FOR
PERSONNEL INJURY
WARNING!!! - NEVER LIFT HEAVY/OVERSIZE LOGS BY
YOURSELF. BAD POSTURE AND HEAVY LOGS MAY CAUSE
SEROIUS INJURY. IF THE LOG IS TOO HEAVY GET ASSISTANCE
OR UTILIZE A HYDRAULIC LOG LIFTER.
It is important to always wear proper PPE when operating your log
splitter.
Gloves – Gloves must be worn at all times to reduce the risk of
slivers, embedded objects (Nails, Wire, etc) and contact with natural
poisons, (Poison Ivy, Poison Oak)
Eye Protection – Eye protection must be worn to reduce the risk of
eye injury from airborne objects.
Foot Protection – Foot Protection must always be worn to reduce the
risk of foot injury from falling logs. When splitting, logs may slip when
being lifted, or may fall off the splitting bed.
Hearing Protection – Hearing protection must be worn to reduce the
risk of hearing loss. Engines are loud enough to cause risk of hearing
loss when exposed over a long period of time.
