Felling and Processing Trees over 380mm Refresher

Felling and processing trees can be dangerous tasks.

That's why it's vital to make sure you have the confidence, knowledge, and skills needed to do it safely.

Our refresher course will keep you up to speed with the latest techniques and safety information as well as demonstrating that you and your employer have completed sufficient training to meet the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER).

It's not for novices as it doesn't offer the wide range of skills needed for inexperienced operators to work safely.
