Proper Landscape Tool Storage


When a commercial property uses in-house staff for their landscape maintenance they have needs to store the landscape tools used on property or at least at a nearby storage facility.  If your property is such that you do use a local storage facility you must be aware of what and how use that storage area.  If your property has the room and buildings that allow you to store your landscape equipment on property you also must be very aware of the legal and safety requirements for that storage.

Many landscape tools are gas powered.  The storage of those types of equipment means you are storing both the gasoline in their onboard tanks and a refill can as well.  Is the storage area designed to store flammable liquids?

Your chemicals that are used for weed control and vegetation elimination require proper storage as well.

Even if your property is small enough that you only use hand tools for your landscape maintenance  they have sharp tines and edges that mean they must be locked away when stored.

The proper care and storage of landscape tools increases their life and usefulness. Your staff needs to know how to select the best tool for different needs and how to use that tool in the proper, most efficient way. Also, you need to learn crucial safety procedures to reduce or eliminate injuries during landscaping and the storage of those same tools. The safe and correct uses of the twelve basic landscape tools needs to be understood and demonstrated. This is another must for any safety program.

The cleaning products used in the maintenance of your equipment have their own hazards.  Many commercial property owners and managers never give a thought to the proper storage of landscaping equipment or chemicals until an accident happens.
