Landscape Safety Training: Frequently Asked Questions
Does OSHA require safety training for landscaping employees?
OSHA has no standard written only for landscaping. Landscape employers follow the general industry standards in 29 CFR 1910, which call for training where the hazards exist, including personal protective equipment (1910.132), hazard communication for fuels and lawn chemicals (1910.1200), and noise (1910.95). State plans can add their own rules, such as heat illness prevention training in California.
What do the landscape safety training videos cover?
The videos cover safe use of commercial lawn mowers, chainsaws, trimmers, and other landscaping equipment, protective clothing and PPE, fueling, working around bystanders, and handling the chemicals used in landscaping work.
Are the landscaping safety videos available in Spanish?
Yes. Landscape Maintenance for Landscaping Industry, Chainsaw Safety Training, and Commercial Lawn Mower Safety are each available in English and Spanish on DVD. Chainsaw Accidents and Suffering the Consequences is available in English.
Who should take landscape safety training?
New landscapers should be trained before they run equipment, and experienced crew members benefit from a refresher at the start of each season. The videos suit landscape contractors, lawn care companies, and grounds maintenance crews at schools, parks, municipalities, and property management companies.
