The Technical Services Department of Oregon Cutting Systems offers a free safety seminar program to our customers 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.

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. The program is free of charge to our customers. To control expenses, we require a minimum of 25 participants for Oregon® service school seminars.

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.

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.

Should you choose to serve refreshments during the presentation, we will contribute 50% of the cost up to a maximum of $250.00. We do not include alcoholic beverages.

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. 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.
