II. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip and
fall accidents which can result in severe injury.
All slopes require extra caution.

uneasy on a slope, do not trim it.
DO:
• Trim across the face of slopes: never up
and down. Exercise extreme caution
when changing direction on slopes.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree
limbs, etc.

grass can hide obstacles.
