Springtime Gardeners Beware! #3

 Wear eye protection (safety goggles) when around lawns mowers, grass trimmers and other lawn equipment.  Have you ever seen a lawnmower catch a small wire (or rock) and sling it across the yard?  If you are in its path, you can be injured. 
Protect your hearing from the loud noises of lawn equipment by wearing a sound-deadening ear plugs or ear muffs approved for that purpose.   The CDC says if you have to raise your voice to talk to a person an arm’s length away, ear protection is needed as the noise can harm your hearing.
