Where I come from the fallers do everything but get the logs to the deck and load them onto the trucks.

Chain mail would be a lot more protection than jeans, or even chaps. It might make sense around the legs. But then you'd have to get fallers to wear them. Those guys are not so much gladiators as athletes, and they see life in simple terms.
I'd hesitate to wear steel toed boots. Trees and logs weigh too much. Log weights are similar to motor vehicle weights. For splitting firewood, sure. But not for working around moving logs.
