I have my own saw and would never use it without the right kit.... you got to have something missing not to wear them. I also went on the weeks course for the basic maintenance and cross cutting/felling certificate. Likewise for the excavator - certified up to ten tonnes!
As a project manager at work we now operate a "3 strike & your out" system. Three minor H & S offences or one major one by a contractor & your kicked off site & the contract ended until the issue is addressed! That info is also shared across the company from site to site.

There is no such thing as a licence to use a chainsaw, Its a certificate of profesional competance. That can be for basic saw maintenance or all units up to Sectional dismantling. It is now not supposed to be possible to by a top handled chainsaw without proving you have the right CS unit on your ticket. I don't think it will be long before we see this for all saws.

That's correct but to all intents it might as well be called a licence, as you won't find an employer that'll let anyone near a saw without a ticket these days.
Confidence is the key to using a saw, without it your guarrateed to have an accident.

Apparently the only way to legally use a chainsaw without a certificate is on your own land for your own benefit. Set foot on someone elses land, and regardless of whether it is for reward or not, you need the ticket. That's what I read in a Smallholders magazine anyhoo.
