Description

The training covers boom mowers, flex-wing mowers, side-mounted mowers, and nearly any other tractor mowing setup.

Tractor Mower Operator Safety classroom course covers topics on:

  • Becoming a responsible operator
  • Managing hazards and risk
  • Following a Safety Program
  • Pre-Operation safety/walk around pre-start up inspections
  • Best operating practices
  • Proper start up and shut down procedures
  • Hydraulic fluids safety
  • Emphasizing Maintenance Safety

Hands-on field portion will take the operators out to the mowers they operate. Participants will do a walk around inspection of the equipment. The classroom material will be reinforced, and a driver's course will be set up that will allow each operator to demonstrate safety and proficiency with the equipment.

Target Audience

The course is recommended for all tractor/mower equipment operators, their supervisors and their managers, employees that perform maintenance on the tractor/mowers, safety teams and safety committees.
