ISO 11393-2 Protective Clothing for Handheld Chainsaw Users - Part 2: Performance Requirements and Test Methods for Leg Protectors

This part of ISO 11393 forms part of a series on personal protective equipment designed to protect against risks from the use of hand-held chainsaws.

No personal protective equipment can provide 100% protection against cuts from a hand-held chainsaw. However, experience has shown that it is possible to design personal protective equipment that offers a certain degree of protection. Different functional principles can be applied to provide protection.

These include:

  • Chain slip: Chain does not cut material on contact
  • Clogging: fibers are pulled by the chain to the drive sprocket and block chain movement
  • Chain braking: the fibers have a high resistance to shear and absorb rotational energy, thereby reducing the chain speed.

Often more than one policy is applied.
