AEM Offers Recently Updated Industrial Ag Mower Safety Manual

AEM recently updated its Industrial Ag Mower Safety Manual in accordance with the association’s longstanding mission to provide up-to-date and industry-consensus safety materials that encourage safe equipment operation. 

New updates include the use of pictorials from AEM’s Pictorial Database, modern formatting, and additional information on safe operation and maintenance. Its easy-to-follow pictorials and clearly stated safety warnings will help ensure operators understand the equipment's operation, capacity, mechanisms, maintenance, and intended uses. 

“AEM member companies and their product safety experts play a crucial role in ensuring our manuals and safety materials represent best practices for safe equipment operation,” said AEM Safety Materials Manager Becca Basten. “The Industrial Ag Mower Safety Manual is a longstanding safety resource for the operation of ag mowers, and it serves as a valuable resource for strengthening safety and training programs.” 

The Industrial Ag Mower Safety Manual update also includes additional information on safe operation related to mower-thrown objects, mowing on uneven terrain, safe driving, along with transportation and other instances where safety education is paramount. This title is available in both English, as well as flip-book style English & Spanish format. 

AEM’s safety materials are consensus documents that are developed, reviewed, and approved by committees empaneled by AEM, and they represent best practices for the industry. The safety materials include more than 50 unique manual titles, including the Ag Mower Safety Manual, and they extend to additional collateral such as videos, brochures, decals, and training kits.
