Chain Shot Management – Risk Reduction and Mitigation

Scottish Woodlands Quest Guide

It is estimated that 1 in 50 chain break occurrences will result in some level of chain shot release. While the rate of instance is very low, the consequences can be serious. The person most at risk is the machine operator.

The Quest Guide covers some recent chainshot incidents as well as more importantly:

  • What is Chainshot?
  • How does it happen?
  • How to reduce the likelihood of it happening
