New Release: National Association of Landscape Professionals Safety Resources on ECHO Means Business!

July 23, 2021

EMB Community, let’s get talking about workplace safety

Is your lawn care business doing enough? How can you tell? What can you do to implement best practices in workplace safety?

Poor workplace safety will cost your business. For example:

  • The fine for three crew members not wearing proper eye protection while operating a string trimmer can be up to $21,000
  • Workers’ compensation costs for chainsaw injuries are estimated at $125 Million per year

To get started, you first need to get informed, and we’ve got you covered.

We are thrilled to announce the release of a new content library on ECHO Means Business, dedicated to resources on workplace safety.These resources are courtesy of our friends at the National Association for Landscape Professionals (NALP) - EMB’s official safety partner!

Learn the “dos and don’ts” of operating tools like leaf blowers, masonry saws, and hand pruners. Access checklists for preventing lifting injuries, preparing for storms while on the road, and properly towing trailers.

Make use of these resources to better prepare yourself and your crew against common workplace safety hazards!
