Each year, approximately 74 deaths occur and 25,000 people receive emergency treatment, because of riding-mower activities. Chainsaws are one of the most common power tools, but improper use can lead to deadly consequences like head injuries and severed limbs.

This virtual training class will cover information on lawn mower stability, chainsaw safe handling, personal protective equipment, and the hazards when using them.
