What should you do if your risk analysis indicates a high level of danger?

When a risk analysis reveals a high level of danger, it is crucial to prioritize safety above all else. Altering the cutting plan or postponing the operation allows you to reassess the situation and implement necessary precautions that can mitigate risks. This may involve choosing a safer method of cutting, adjusting the timing of the operation to avoid hazardous conditions, or possibly utilizing additional resources or personnel to ensure a safer work environment. Engaging in the operation without making adjustments could expose workers to undue harm, highlighting the importance of taking proactive measures in response to risk assessments. This approach fosters a culture of safety and responsibility, which is essential in wildland firefighting and chainsaw operations.
