Title: FSM 2358 National Saw Program--Sawyer Evaluation and Certification (Directive) 
Abstract:

The Forest Service published a proposed directive in the Federal Register on July 24, 2015. The comment period ended on September 22, 2015. After analyzing comments, the Forest Service plans to publish a final directive to establish national saw programmatic direction and address this policy void. This final directive is necessary to ensure the safe use of saws on national forests and grasslands throughout the country. Chain saws and crosscut saws are dangerous tools that can inflict severe and sometimes critical injuries if not used properly.
