Service Schools
The OREGON^® Technical Services Department offers safety seminar programs in the United States. If your organization uses chainsaws, and if safety training for your people is a high priority, we would be pleased to present our program at your location, as we have resources available.

Our service schools cover not only chainsaw safety, but also maintenance of OREGON^® chain, bars, sprockets, and accessories. We typically need two to three hours to present the information. We use many types of visual aids, including large mock-ups of our products, video tapes, and a power point presentation. We target a minimum of 25 participants for OREGON^® service school seminars.

At the end of the program we administer a short quiz to the participants. Those who complete the quiz with a score of 70% or higher, are given a certificate of completion. This certificate is used by some organizations towards their safety training programs. This program is also recognized by the International Society of Arboriculture (I.S.A.) and participants with a current I.S.A. certification can earn three Continuing Education Units.

For our mechanical-timber-harvesting customers, OREGON^® offers a special service school focusing on products and maintenance for this market segment. Similar in scope and duration to our chainsaw program, the harvester school concentrates on topics relevant to mechanical-timber-harvesting, such as chain grinding, Jet Fit® bars, and chain tensioning.

The cost of these programs is $300 per session and is not limited to the number of attendees.

We hope that you are interested in our service school program. Please call me at 503-653-4359 to further discuss this opportunity and the timing and logistics to arrange for a school at your location. Generally we need two or three month lead time to coordinate our resources.

If e-mail is more convenient, please complete the Service School request form and I will directly receive your information.

We look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
