Regional Directorate for Forest Resources organises in-house training sessions on "Operating Chainsaws Safely" under the LIFE19 IPC/PT/000004 - LIFE IP CLIMAZ project

Dec. 29, 2023

Last September, as part of the LIFE IP CLIMAZ project, coordinated by the Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Change, an in-house training course was held on Terceira island on how to operate chainsaws safely.

This 25-hour training course, organised by the Regional Directorate for Forestry Resources, aimed to train LIFE IP CLIMAZ project employees in various subjects such as occupational risks, preventive and protective measures, operating chainsaws safely in forestry operations, equipment maintenance and upkeep, and how to act in the event of an accident.

The training, which took place at the Forestry Service facilities on Terceira island and at the Serra de Santa Bárbara Forest, provided training for five members of the project and stakeholders from five islands in the Azores archipelago.
