This safety program on CD is designed for green-industry companies of all sizes. Improving safety can greatly reduce employee injuries and resulting workers' compensation claims, OSHA citations, and other job-related injury costs.

The CD includes a comprehensive Company Safety Policy on topics including motor vehicle safety, preventing back injuries, return-to-work/modified duty programs, chemical safety, reporting and investigating accidents, complying with OSHA, and more. The CD also contains more than 50 ready-to-use forms, sample policies, payroll stuffers, and other safety ideas successfully used by others in the green industry; many of these forms are provided in Spanish as well.
