Staying Safe While Landscaping

As an OccupationalHealth & Safety article, "Landscaping Safety: Tips to Help Prevent Injuries,” points out, landscaping is a dangerous job.  Many worker fatalities occur because of car accidents, while others are injured while operating or repairing machinery.

In 2011, 167 landscaping professionals died on the job, which was 34 more than 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

As the article suggests, awareness and prevention lead to the safest work zone possible, including utilizing the proper equipment, properly using it and safely maintaining it. Equipment and practices that improve efficiency can also make it easier to stay alert and monitor surroundings, because as these unfortunate reports show, it’s important to not only mind your own work, but others’ work as well.

With these concerns in mind, Power Pusher’s E-750 ElectricWheelbarrow is capable of effortlessly moving up to 750 pounds and was designed to make landscaping easier and safer.
