Why is it important to choose a good outfit? 

There are Sunday gardeners who occasionally mow the lawn and pull some weeds. There are experienced gardeners who prune and redesign groves and flowerbeds. And in between, there are all those who maintain their garden with more or less technique.

What do all these gardeners have in common? They can hurt themselves if they don't follow a few safety instructions.

That's why we explain in this video which outfit to choose for safe gardening.

What equipment should I wear for my safety?

Here are a few tips for an outfit that should be comfortable and sturdy

Wear a visor or goggles: protect from branches and stones.

coveralls: cover your body completely to protect you from paint and dust. 

use cut resistant gloves: protect from blades, branches, chemicals and blisters 

Protect your feet with rubber or PVC gardening boots that protect against cuts and falling objects. 

Hearing protection can be useful, it protects you from the noise caused by some power tools.

In case of an accident, contact the emergency services by dialing 15 or 112!
