Description: |
This video is an instructional video designed both to
train the new employee and retrain or update the experienced
grounds maintenance worker. In a seminar-style setting,
the video encourages comments or questions from the audience
and includes three "discussion breaks" where viewers may
stop and discuss keypoints. It discusses why and how accidents
involving commercial-grade lawn equipment occur. Types
of accidents are covered, including those involving lifting,
pushing and pulling; sprains and strains; back injuries;
electrical hazards; and overexertion or heat exhaustion.
It provides information on safe lifting practices, equipment
inspections, proper mowing practices, protection from
overexertion, hand tool safety, and proper use of personal
protective equipment and clothing. It also discusses general
safety precautions such as proper nutrition and rest,and
avoiding alcohol, drug and medications which may cause
drowsiness during work. |
