Course Description

Remote control and robotic mowers are increasingly common across grounds maintenance, amenity and landscaping environments. Whilst they reduce direct operator exposure, they still carry significant risks if not used correctly, and proper training is essential to ensure safe and effective operation in line with current health and safety legislation. Learning outcomes include: identifying the risks associated with remote control and robotic mowers; selecting appropriate PPE; understanding the controls, functions and capabilities of the machine; carrying out pre-use checks; identifying and reporting faults; programming and operating the mower safely; understanding the safety features and exclusion zones; and carrying out after-use maintenance and storage. Suitable for anyone employed in agriculture, horticulture, landscaping and grounds maintenance who operates or will be required to operate remote control or robotic mowing equipment. On successful completion you will receive a Lantra Awards certificate of competence.
