Proper Safety Preparation Before Yard Work Begins Reduces Risk of Injury
Alexandria, VA – May 6, 2008 – A recent Consumer Reports poll on lawn care shows that consumers are not taking all the proper precautions before mowing their lawn, according to The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI). In observance of June’s National Safety Month, OPEI is issuing a list of top safety measures every consumer should make before turning on the lawnmower or edger or trimmer to avoid unintentional injury. OPEI has championed safe use of outdoor power equipment for more than 40 years and regularly provides numerous safety resources for consumers, governments and other interested parties.  CONTACT:  Caroline March-Long On Behalf of OPEI 434-295-5938 – office/ 434-760-1948- mobile Caroline@FourLeafPR.com
