PLANET INTRODUCES OVERALL SAFETY ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

HERNDON, Va, November 15, 2006 — The Professional Landcare Network (PLANET) has announced its Overall Safety Achievement Awards, which were presented at the recent PLANET Green Industry Conference awards banquet in Columbus, Ohio. These awards are a part of PLANET’s annual Safety Recognition Awards Program and honor companies with thorough, high-performing safety programs.

PLANET’s annual Safety Recognition Awards Program, co-sponsored by CNA and Ariens/Gravely/Stens, reflects the dedication of these organizations to create and maintain safe work environments in the green industry. The program is designed to recognize and reward green industry professionals who continue to improve the quality of safe practices throughout the industry. All landscape and lawn care professionals are invited to participate in the program.
