Commercial Lawn Mower Safety

(12 min.) The same, if not more caution should be exercised when operating a mower as driving an automobile. The reason for the caution is quite obvious; mowers are dangerous if you don't follow proper procedures and safety rules. When you do follow the rules, mowers are great labor saving devices and they are safe to use.

Most safe operating rules and instructions apply whether you're using a riding mower or a walk-behind mower. The minute you stop following safety rules on either equipment, that's when you're ready for an accident.

Topics included in this safety video are: leave all safety features intact, clear the mowing area, wear appropriate clothing, give your mowing operation your full attention and full use of all of your faculties, refuel your mower carefully, accident prevention tips, do not mow in reverse, use care during slope operation, and mower maintenance.

Program comes with a CD-ROM of written materials, including test questions and answers. English title also includes PowerPoint presentation.
