SAFETY FIRST

Publication Date: Thursday, August 31, 2006

The Landscape Centre is pleased to announce that we successfully renewed our SafeTcert accreditation.  Following a detailed audit of all our Health and Safety systems we have yet again been awarded a grade B status on the A-F scale. 

At The Landscape Centre we always put the Health and Safety of our employees and clients first.  Over recent years we have made considerable investment into training our employees to develop their skills as horticulturists and to educate them in the principles of Safe working practice. 

This investment has paid off as we have seen a reduction in accidents resulting in personal injury, of 25% over the last two years.  Our philosophy remains that one accident is one two many and we continue to strive for improvement year on year. 

With over 50 commercial vehicles operating across the country we have taken steps to ensure all of our drivers receive an advanced driver training course.  The course was introduced in 2003 and since that year we have seen a dramatic reduction in the number of road traffic accidents caused by our vehicles.
