About
A large number of places have slopes or water bodies which have to be maintained. Cutting grass in these situations can be hazardous. With the proper training the risks to operators can be reduced as awareness is increased. During this course you will be shown ways in which this can be achieved, enabling you to operate in a variety of locations and situations in a safer way.
The finer details
This customised course will enable you to assess the different types of terrain and associated hazards that they pose. Having already attended the Lantra Safe Use of Mowers course, this course builds on that knowledge.
We will look at different options available to operators and how to select the correct machine for the task in hand.
