About chainsaws in wildland firefighting and safety factors

I've been sharing videos from the National Interagency Fire Center. Today's video is called Chainsaws and Human Factors - 2013 Refresher. In some ways this training video is more about human factors that wildland firefighters using chain saws and less about how to use a chain saw. I post it here because it interested me and because I thought the discussion on human factors was something that I can relate to. I may not do anything as risky as using a chainsaw, however I am am reminded about considering human factors such as various distractions in some of my day to day activities to stay safe (driving, or using tools). Allow about fourteen minutes for the video.
