Following the example of Bavaria – Tyrol: will you soon only be able to buy a chainsaw with a driver’s license?

Date:

The state of Tyrol makes people sit up with a strange report. Because numerous fatal accidents have already occurred this year during forestry work, there is now talk of a driver’s license for chainsaws.

This year, 39 people have already died while working in the forest. This number is a sadly high figure. Now the state of Tyrol is considering introducing a mandatory driving license for the purchase and use of chainsaws, as reported in the media.

In Bavaria, a driver’s license is required upon purchase
“That would be a step towards greater safety,” Kurt Zeigner from the forest planning department of the state of Tyrol told ORF Tirol. He refers to the big neighbor. Because in Bavaria you must show your European chainsaw driving license when purchasing.
