The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) released its “Safety Program for Green Industry Companies” CD in Spanish. The version was made possible with support from CNA and Henry Dunn.
The CD includes:
- A comprehensive company safety policy on topics such as motor vehicle safety, preventing back injuries, return-to-work or modified duty programs, chemical safety, reporting and investigating accidents and complying with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
- Guidance, in the form of checklists and tips for Green Industry companies on implementing and further developing the company safety policy.
- More than 50 ready-to-use forms, sample policies, payroll stuffers and other safety materials and resources.
The CD was developed as part of PLANET’s STARS Safe Company Program (Safety Training Achieves Remarkable Success), a free safety initiative that helps landscape industry companies improve safety by reducing hazards and injuries.
STARS members can request a free Spanish version of the CD via email to STARS@landcarenetwork.org.
