Industrial and Agricultural Mower Safety Practices Program

The program's components include a safety training video (in both DVD and VHS formats) and a guidebook. The broad-based AEM mower safety program targets both industrial applications such as roadside mowing with rotary cutters as well as agricultural disc mowing. Rounding out the package are copies of the applicable AEM Safety Manuals for both the tractor and the mower.

The 22-minute training video focuses on basic rules to help ensure the safety of not only the operator but also other persons that may be in the vicinity, especially in the case of roadside mowing. Areas covered include equipment start up, operation, maintenance and shut down. The complementary 12-page guidebook highlights key messages in the video with a Q and A format, and employers can use the guidebook contents for testing employee comprehension. Companies can customize their training program by choosing the materials that best fit their specific needs.
