The Greenery, Inc. was recently awarded an Overall Safety Achievement Award from the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET).
The award, part of PLANET’s annual Safety Recognition Awards Program, honors those companies with thorough, high-performing safety programs that create and maintain safe work environments in the green industry. It is designed to reward green industry companies that consistently demonstrate their commitment to safety.
“Since formalizing our Safety Program in 2007, The Greenery has continued to improve its safety measures year after year,” says Lee Edwards, CEO of The Greenery, Inc. “This Overall Safety Award demonstrates our commitment to providing a safe work environment for our employees and clients. As an employee-owned company, the safety and well-being of our employees is a huge priority.”
The Greenery, Inc. was evaluated on number of accidents, number of days that employees were away from work, and number of employee injuries and illnesses. In addition, a checklist was used to rate the company’s complete safety program.
Beaufort Branch Manager,  Jerry Ashmore says he is proud of the work they do to keep their employees, clients and the environment safe. “Our Beaufort staff strives to uphold The Greenery’s high safety standards everyday on the job,” he says.
