1910.266(d)(1)(iv)...

(d)(1)(iv) The employer shall provide, at no cost to the employee, and assure that each employee who operates a chain saw wears leg protection constructed with cut-resistant material, such as ballistic nylon.  The leg protection shall cover the full length of the thigh to the top of the boot on each leg to protect against contact with a moving chain saw.  Exception:  This requirement does not apply when an employee is working as a climber if the employer demonstrates that a greater hazard is posed by wearing leg protection in the particular situation, or when an employee is working from a vehicular mounted elevating and rotating work platform meeting the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.68.
