Mowing crews working near highways and roads are the cause of more accidents than most people think. Our focus is on the safety of the equipment operators and the nearby people and vehicles. Use this roadside mowing safety instructor kit to teach everyone, from supervisors and equipment operators to truck drivers and the rest of the crew, to take responsibility for safety.
