| Abstract |
Description of protective clothing which will rapidly (in 0.06-0.14s) jam the chain of a chain saw with which it is brought into contact. Comprises a coat and trousers. Areas likely to accidental contact with the saw (arms, legs and trunk) are quilted with layers of fabric made from synthetic fibre with good mechanical properties, in particular high tensile strength. Tests by the French National Research and Safety Institute have demonstrated the clothing's effectiveness. English translation may be obtained from the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, 250 Main Street East, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, L8N 1H6. |
