Posted By David Williams Hi there, looking for a bit of specific advice guidance on what the recommendations/regulations applicable are to cutting grass on a slope 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 using mechanical means. My guess is that it's via a risk assessment and the requirements of PUWER and perhaps HSE guidance on tractor overturning but I have a feeling that someone with a council background may be able to tell me how they deal with this subject. I would be grateful if any answers could be as specific as possible. Additionaly - is there BS or similar relevant to the above when designing an embankment or slope?? Many thanks in advance.

Posted By David Williams Hmmm, I've tried doing a search using keywords but unfortunately don't appear to be able to bring any other posts up covering a similar situation. If anyone knows who may have originally had a similar query or indeed find the post!??

Posted By Nicky David, I am not sure quite what yuo want, but for a starting point to help might be the HSE's AS 22, Prevention of tractors overturning, and AIS 25 agricultural mowers. The problems may be similar. I can e-mail them to you if you want them and can't find them want them as they are pdf files. Nicky
