Established in 1978, FTT has set the standard for training on grounds maintenance equipment.
We do not sell or service any type of equipment. Our specialty is training members of your staff whether it be operators, supervisors or managers. FTT offers a complete package where our experienced instructors ensure that a visit from the MOL will find no stone unturned. We train on all equipment from trimmers to tractor mowers, loaders etc. While our instructor is on your site, you will be informed of any deficiencies.
Don’t be misled and fail to train on small equipment or identify the hazards associated with: Trimmers, Blowers, Chain Saws, Cultivators etc.
Statistics in Canadian industry
Between 1990 and 2006 a total of 1161 patients visited Canadian hospitals for mower related injuries. These figures are for small equipment only, not counting chain saws – (32%) lacerations, (16%) amputations, (23%) slipping under mowers.
With a great deal of this type of equipment being used at homes across Canada, one wonders what are the accident stats for homeowners? Over the years of training grounds personnel, we find that many had never used small equipment before. So when they get a part time job with a golf course or municipality, it may be their first time operating a piece of equipment.
Let’s make sure that if your employees use equipment, your company does not become a statistic.
