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.
