The best way to avoid bodily injury claims as a landscaper is to ensure you and your team operate under safe conditions. In other words, take proactive steps to prevent potential accidents. Don't leave a lawnmower, rakes, and grass shears lying around for someone to trip over. Instead of scattering your tools around the worksite, keep them all in a secure place.
It's helpful to post signs while you're working in the client's yard, which reinforces the concept of safety. Ideally, your employees should have undergone a safety training program designed to help prevent accidents. It's standard to inspect a job site before beginning work to ensure the safety of your workers and others. To protect your business against claims of unsafe conditions, take pictures of the site before working on it.
