Lawnmower Safety Tips


  • Keep children under five inside or away while mowing the lawn.
  • Prevent injuries from flying objects such as stones or toys by checking your lawn and picking these up prior to starting to cut the grass.
  • Never let children ride on mowers or in carts towed by mowers.
  • Try to use a mower with a control that stops from moving forward if the handle is let go.
  • Never allow children to ride as passengers on ride-on mowers.
