SPRINGTIME RECEIVES OVERALL SAFETY ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Bend, OR, November 20, 2009— Springtime Landscape & Irrigation Inc., announced today that it was recently awarded an Overall Safety Achievement Award from the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) at the association’s recent Green Industry Conference awards banquet in Louisville, Kentucky. 

The award, part of PLANET’s annual Safety Recognition Awards Program and sponsored by CNA, 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.

Springtime 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.

“Safe work environments show our employees and clients that we care. We will continue to promote safe work habits by our employees on a daily basis because we recognize the importance of safety in the workplace. This recognition of our good safety record will put Springtime head and shoulders above the competition.”
