Tailgate Safety Training for Landscaping and Horticultural Services

Tailgate Safety Training Modules for Landscaping and Horticultural Services provide information in both English and Spanish on

• Safety and health risks and hazards in landscaping and horticultural services
• Safe practices and safety equipment to prevent and avoid those risks and hazards

Crew leaders, supervisors, trainers, and owners can use Trainer Modules to provide safety training to workers in formal classroom sessions or in informal sessions in the field - right off the tailgate of the pickup, for example.  A Trainer's Note in each module gives brief directions on how to provide training. See all Trainer Modules.   See Trainer Modules by category.

Workers can use Self-Study Modules to learn about safe practices and safety equipment on their own. Brief directions in How To Use This Module tell workers how to seek additional help from supervisors in appropriate hands-on activities like demonstrations and supervised practic. See all Self-Study Modules.   See Self-Study Modules by category.

Trainer Modules and Self-Study Modules both contain exactly the same technical information. The only difference is directions in the Trainer's Note and How To Use This Module.
