Mowing too close to sudden drop -offs, steep inclines, retaining walls or unstable ground <br />surrounding ponds and drainage ditches can cause loss of traction and control. Making <br />these choices can result in serious injuries or fatalities. "Driving in the Safety Zone" <br />means staying clear of high -risk situations and hazards, like steep slopes and sudden <br />drop -offs near water. <br />w <br />The Timing of Safety Meetings is Important <br />Meetings are conducted when all crewmembers can be brought together (i.e. when first <br />starting work or just before lunch). Meetings are usually at the start of the workweek to <br />set the tone for the rest of the week. These meetings are also a good time to review <br />known dangers on the site as there may be new crew members and changing conditions <br />on our jobsites. We ensure our branches are conducting effective weekly tailgate <br />meetings. Participating with our crews is mandatory and encourages safe practices — <br />these 15 - 20 minutes each week make a difference. <br />The ValleyCrest Safety Department demonstrates our commitment to: <br />• Provide a safe work environment and safety culture that places the highest level of <br />value on the health and welfare of our employees. <br />• Instill a sense of ownership and encourage excellence in all aspects of safety. <br />• Provide safety and regulatory compliance training that insures our employees have <br />the tools to perform in a safe and productive manner. <br />• Promote safety as each employee's responsibility and endorse as a way of life at <br />work and at home.... because it's the right thing to do. <br />(0 - it—Dl <br />030 <br />ValleyCrest Landscape Maint, <br />16400 NW 127th Ave. <br />Miami, FL 33018-1051 <br />
