As rewarding as gardening can be, accidents happen all of the time but most can be completely avoided. In a recent study, a total of 168,845 ocular injuries were associated with landscaping activities. This study was published in October 2022, by the Institute of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School.
In another report focused specifically on gardening injuries, approximately 300,000 people are hurt in their gardens each year seriously enough to go to hospital. Around 87,000 are injured actively gardening or carrying out DIY jobs in the garden. This is according to a report by the Department of Trade and Industry’s Home Accident Surveillance System. Almost all of these injuries can be avoided if you use the right tools, wear the appropriate attire and follow some of the most basic tips to protect you from harm.
