Document background
This Risk Assessment For Grass Cutting And Strimming is a mandatory document under German workplace safety legislation (Arbeitsschutzgesetz), required whenever organizations undertake grass cutting and strimming activities. It serves as a crucial tool for identifying, evaluating, and controlling risks associated with these operations. The assessment must be conducted in compliance with German federal and state regulations, including the Betriebssicherheitsverordnung (BetrSichV) for equipment safety and the Lärm- und Vibrations-Arbeitsschutzverordnung for noise and vibration protection. It should be regularly reviewed and updated, particularly when there are changes in equipment, procedures, or relevant legislation. This document is essential for protecting workers, ensuring legal compliance, and establishing safe working procedures in German workplace environments.
