You can only mow lawns when you aren't dead, missing your eyes, or even a leg. So here is not only a list of safety precautions for yourself, but also for your fellow worker and even simply courtesy to our customers.

• When driving, wear your seat-belt... ALWAYS
• Keep roll bar up! (if you must lower it for a specific job, you may do so, but that much more precaution should be taken. They are there for a reason)
• Wear Safety glasses at all times.
• Wear some sort of ear protection. You may not agree with it's necessity, but over time the noise DEFINITELY takes a tole, and if you would rather retain your keen hearing, and not have a constant sequel in you ear... put them on!
• Make sure, especially at dusk, to have equipment lights on. This is for both your safety, but also for increaseing others visibility of you. (and certain "others" may be driving a semi at 65 mph... so that's kinda your safety as well)
• When plowing, check, and double check, that all strobes are on. For the same reasons as above.
• It is REQUIRED, that all workers be wearing thick, closed toe, footwear. This is quite obvious, and if you show up to work in flip-flops, expect a certain rant about doing man's work.

And the equipment's safety for goodness's sake!!! 

• Treat them like they were your own (Darn myself for hiring you if this isn't a good thing)! XP
• Don't throw around trimmers and blowers. Place them.
• If something starts to break, let David AND I, know right away!
•  

More on the being professionals aspect of things.

• Just as with shooting a gun, while mowing you need to be aware of your target AND BEYOND! "And beyond" meaning where your discharge is pointed, and the speed of the blades. This is CRITICAL, to everything. To quality of work done, to keeping property damage costs to a minimum/null.
• If you see the customer out and about (while on the job site), address them, preferably more than just a head nod. Turn off the mower quick and talk with them! It isn't that hard, rather it is kinda fun (for the most part) and GREATLY increases the customers satisfaction with us and the probability of them recommending our service to others.
• Keep trimmers away from fragile surfaces (like plastic siding)! It is better to not have quite aalllll the trimming hit, than to start causing property damage. If you do end up damaging something, let David, I, AND the customer know!! It is alright, accidents happen, we just need honesty from you. We would rather have you be honest with a couple mistakes, than never mess up but be untrustworthy.
