1. Press release
- Release date:
- February 23, 2012
- Title:
- Prevention of accidents involving snowplows
- Publisher:
- Product Safety Technology Center
- Summary:
- The NITE Product Safety Technology Center called consumers' attention to the prevention of accidents involving snowplows on November 10, 2011. However, the number of accidents involving snowplows that have been reported in fiscal 2011 is demonstrating an upward trend that exceeds the previous fiscal year. This is presumably because the intermittent heavy snowfall from the end of the last year led to increased use of snowplows. As accidents involving snowplows tend to cause serious damage and snow is expected until March, we urge you to take note of the accidents to prevent them.
