44、esign A, design B or design C The designs A and B are, e.g., meant to be used in normal forest harvesting work by professional loggers who are thoroughly trained and instructed. Design B is similar to design A, but the coverage is extended 50 mm on the inner side of the left leg. The background for
45、this extension is that in this area, the leg artery is situated. If this artery is damaged, the accident may become fatal due to loss of blood. Design A is supposed to be more comfortable than design B. Design C is, e.g., to be used by persons who are not normally working with chain saws or in excep
46、tional situations, e.g. when working in trees. The 50 mm garment at the bottom of the leg protectors is intended for personal fit with footwear (see prEN 345-2) giving protection against chain saw cutting. An overlap of 50 mm is recommended.
