Nice one Ekka those are brand new.

(Least the first I've seen) Part of Dept WHS push for improved standards in the Arb industry.

Interesting it points out chainsaw protective chaps/pants as a minimum standard. I thought a lot of QLD'ers didnt use these with heat fatigue as the argument against. We all (professionals) use them here no matter how hot.
