How to Mow Slopes Safely

A typical lawn mowing day can turn deadly with a wrong turn

The accident:A 43-year-old temp worker is part of a crew that maintains a rest area on an interstate highway. The worker begins to cut the grass along the hillside that borders one of the parking lots of the rest area. There is a 15 foot high slope with a 35 degree incline to one side of the parking lot. The crew chief instructs the worker to cut the grass on the slope crosswise and only halfway due to the steepness of the slope. The worker is instructed to use an edger to finish cutting the grass at the top of the hillside. Another crew member is outside helping clean up and informs the worker that he is going inside to take a break. The crew member returns 30 minutes later and finds the lawn mower upside down, with the worker crushed underneath it. Call the rest of the crew to help lift the machine and call the Emergency Medical service. The worker dies from massive trauma to the head and chest.

Bottom Line : Workers should not mow on slopes hotter than 15 degrees. The cutting machine should be operated on the slopes in a cross way and never from the top down Additionally, the worker should not have been left alone when cutting the grass on a steep ramp.

Tips for cutting grass on slopes:

• Make sure ride-on mowers are equipped with a roll over protection system (ROPS).
• Always wear a seat belt.
• Do not operate mowers on inclines that exceed the limit angles specified by the manufacturer.
• If you do not have the instructions available to you, evaluate the terrain and slope conditions to make sure the mower is operated safely.
• Avoid mowing on slopes at a 15 degree angle.
• Use a slope indicator, also called a "clinometer" or "inclinometer"
• Do not leave workers unsupervised in potentially dangerous conditions.
