Summer 2023 Mowing

The Summer 2023 campaign focuses on safe mowing and reducing the number of mowing injuries. We complied resources from a variety of sources, listed below, to create an easy to use booklet that covers many aspects of mowing safety like PPE, youth safety, and mowing conditions. Click here to download your own copy and prepare for safe mowing this summer and for years to come.

Mowing is a responsibility that is often times given to kids, so many of the resources in this booklet address youth safety. However, the resources in this book can be applied to all age levels and safe mowing habits should be practiced by everyone, regardless of age.
