Power Mower Safety Regulation Aims to Cut Injuries
Federal officials propose a safety rule to shield mower blades and halt motion within three seconds after the operator leaves, adding 20 to 45 dollars to most power mower prices and expected to prevent about 60,000 injuries yearly. The rule would take effect December 31, 1981, and apply to most consumer mowers without including manual, riding, or large commercial units. The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute backs a standard that leaves compliance design to manufacturers, with emphasis on safety features and resilience.
