WHAT DOES THIS BRUSHCUTTER TRAINING COVER?
The brushcutter is, together with the hedge trimmer and the chainsaw, a widely used device in the green sector.
Whether in forestry, garden maintenance or green services, people work with the brushcutter.
After an introduction to the operation of the brushcutter, we learn to mow safely.
In this practical training, we perfect your working technique, for mowing with a line head, circular saw blade or brush knife.
Choose the right device and cutting attachment for the right job. A brushcutter that is too heavy can lead to overloading your body.
Which protective guard you use with which cutting attachment is very important for safety.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?
Any workstation where work equipment is used, where motor vehicles, cranes, overhead cranes, lifting devices of any kind, or machines that set dangerous installations or devices in motion are operated, or where service weapons are carried, is considered a safety function, insofar as the use of that work equipment, the operation of those machines and installations or the carrying of those weapons may endanger the safety and health of other workers of the company or of external companies. Workers who perform a safety function must hold a certificate of medical fitness. (Code, book I, title 4)
