Driving license for chainsaws soon in Tyrol?
The state of Tyrol has made a curious announcement. As there have already been numerous fatal accidents during forestry work this year, a driving license for chainsaws is now being discussed.
This year, 39 people have already lost their lives while working in the forest. This figure is a sad all-time high. The state of Tyrol is now considering a mandatory driving license for the purchase and use of chainsaws, as has been reported in the media.
This would be a step towards greater safety.
