Safety Recognition Awards

Safety is critical to your landscape or lawn care business. The Safety Recognition Awards honor companies that create and consistently maintain safe work environments. Participation in this national award program not only sends the message to your employees and clients that safety is a priority and gives your company the national recognition it deserves, it also sets a benchmark for measuring continued safety improvement. Does your company have multiple branches? Submit an entry for each location to ensure they receive recognition for their commitment to safety!

If your company had any work-related fatalities in 2022 you will not be eligible for an award however, you are encouraged to apply. Your company may be eligible for a "most improved" award next year.

How to Apply

It's easy. You'll provide safety data from your OSHA 300A Form and a copy of  your vehicle loss run report. Enter that information plus other basic data (number of vehicles, number of employees, hours worked, accidents, injuries/illnesses, and days away from work) into our online submission form. This information is used to determine Overall Safety Achievement award levels (Gold, Silver or Bronze). 

Your company can also receive individual awards including No Vehicle Accidents, No Injuries and Illnesses, and No Days Away from Work. Submit once and receive all the awards for which your company is eligible. And each branch can also enter separately.

What People Are Saying...

Participating in the safety Recognition Awards program each year gives our staff an incentive to work safe and smart. Having had several winning years in a row says a lot to our clients as well that we care about our staff and their working conditions. In addition, it has also helped us when our insurance carriers profile our company."
