General Prevention Tips - Mowing
- If you have asthma or allergies,
wear a mask.
- Stand as straight as possible,
and keep your head up as you rake or mow.
- Try to mow during the early
morning and early evening hours, when the sun is not
so hot. Drink plenty of fluids to keep your muscles
hydrated. Protect yourself by wearing a hat, shoes,
earplugs, and protective glasses.

- Use as much as your body
weight as possible to move your mower (unless it is
self-propelled). This will minimize excessive strain
to your arms and back.
- When picking up piles of
leaves or grass from the grass catcher, bend at your
knees, not at your waist.
