CampusCare® Receives National Safety Recognition Awards
South Walpole, MA—February 2009
CampusCare® recently received two national safety awards for “No Days Away from Work” and “No Vehicle Accidents” from The Professional Landcare Network’s (PLANET) Safety Recognition Awards Program and the STARS Safe Company Program (Safety Training Achieves Remarkable Success).
These programs are designed to reward green industry professionals who consistently demonstrate their commitment to safety, and reflects the dedication of these individuals and their companies to creating and maintaining safe work environments.
STARS is a safety initiative designed for companies to set the precedent for safety throughout the industry. The program helps green industry service provider companies lower their total costs of risk by reducing hazards and injuries. With this initiative, PLANET works to connect all green industry companies in an effort to lessen the risks associated with the green industry. Participants of the program are asked to sign a Safe Company Pledge that commits their company to:
- Follow the guidelines in the Safety Program for Green Industry Companies (CD) for developing a safe company
- Establish an active safety committee within their company
- Conduct regular safety-awareness training
- Document, measure, and investigate every accident
- Meet OSHA posting and regulatory requirements
- Share their best safety practices with their fellow STARS members
As a result of our commitment to safety at all costs and our participation in the STARS program.
CampusCare® is a full service company that is committed to providing exceptional exterior maintenance and sports turf services to academic campuses across New England.
