SAFETY REMINDERS!

Those who use mowing or weed-eating equipment should be careful and use the proper safety gear and precautions at all times. Make sure that the equipment you are using is in good, working condition with all safety features intact.

Inspect the area before mowing to remove any large or foreign objects. Always be aware of people walking or driving nearby.

Dress appropriately for the weather, but within department guidelines. Stay adequately hydrated.

Know the symptoms of heat-related or cold-related illness and notify your supervisor immediately if you experience any of these symptoms.

Use proper lifting techniques while lifting objects. Improper lifting techniques may result in serious back injuries or other injuries. Keep the object as close to your body as possible. Use your leg muscles - not your back muscles - to lift the object. Once you've lifted the object, turn by pivoting your feet - not by twisting. Remember no one is immune to back injury. Whether you have a strong back or have hurt your back before, you must use proper techniques.

Whenever possible, park your equipment where backing up isn't necessary. If you do back up, have a spotter to guide you, communicating with you using simple hand signals that both of you understand. This is important because it is possible to not see people - especially children - or equipment behind you as you are backing up.

Wear the safety vests, protective eyewear, and other equipment required for your job. Reflective vests allow you to be more visible to motorists when working near the roadway. Equipment designed to protect your eyes or ears is necessary when using certain types of equipment. Gloves are also required for many jobs.

Any department needing safety equipment, Gatorade, etc. - or any department having questions about safety-related issues, can contact the Risk Management Office at (256) 775-7130.
