While the worker is focused and using appropriate hand tools, he lacks basic PPE such as gloves and eye protection, increasing the risk of cuts, scrapes, or debris-related eye injuries. He is also working with bare feet or sandals, which offer no protection from sharp tools, insects, or harmful substances in the soil.
Garden and landscape workers should always wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes, gloves, and eye protection when trimming, digging, or handling plants and soil. Proper body mechanics and tool handling are also essential to prevent injury during repetitive or prolonged tasks.
