aPAL

On October 8, 2005, I posted to my blog about aPAL.

Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man presents some recommended actions (aPAL) as solutions to prevent yard accidents and to promote yard safety awareness (YSA).

Awareness - create awareness regarding the frequency and severity of lawn mower accidents and recommend the implementation of preventive grass cut safety measures and procedures.

Protection - wear personal protective equipment when grass cutting.

Avoidance - hire a professional lawn service that absorbs the risk and implements grass cut safety measures and procedures.

Legislation - propose new legislation (perhaps, The Rescue Rick the Grass Cut Man Act) that perhaps sets the minimum lawn equipment operator age at 16 with required grass cut safety education, introduces an operator's license, launches various grass cut safety educational programs targeted at various age and occupational groups, etcetera. Actually, there were some professional landscaping trade organizations that introduced landscaping certification programs at the time that I introduced this mission.

I can be reached at 2122 South Hermitage Road, Hermitage, PA 16148. My phone number is (seven 24) three 47-four 078 and mobile (seven 03) eight 51-nine 105.
