safe use of equipment

Every year scores of children are injured or killed in accidents involving lawnmowers. In fact, one out of every five deaths caused by a lawnmower involves a child. Injuries and deaths from lawnmower accidents can be reduced dramatically if parents would follow these simple guidelines. Always Prepare Your Lawn for Mowing. Check your lawn for items such as sticks, rocks, toys, sports equipment, dog bones, wire, and equipment parts. The debris could be thrown while mowing, possibly hitting the operator or bystanders.
