It covers the hazards (noise, flying materials, blades, chemicals, fire and manual handling), the PPE to wear, pre-operational inspection, operator training, Legionnaires' disease from potting soil, gardening safety tips, fire equipment and first aid, and hand tools.

It also gives step-by-step operation for blowers, line trimmers and lawn mowers, and a hazard checklist for small engine equipment.
