About this template
A job-by-job risk assessment for lawn, garden and grounds maintenance crews. It scores the hazards of ride-on and push mowers, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, blowers and pole saws, with rows for thrown objects, chemicals and fuel, noise, sun and heat, slopes, overhead power lines, buried services, the public, snakes and insects, trailers and lone work. It is the risk assessment that sits beside the method statement for the work.
