CALABASAS, Calif. – ValleyCrest Landscape Cos., celebrated its 2013 National Safety Awareness Day by rewarding four of its many safe employees with new trucks. The presentation of the trucks was a featured part of safety events held across the country, where more than 10,500 employees gathered to recognize superior performance in workplace safety.
This year marks the 11th year ValleyCrest has awarded new trucks. Since the tradition began, 55 trucks have been awarded.
The annual giveaway reinforces the company’s deep commitment to workplace safety by encouraging employees to perform throughout the year accident free. This year 3,400 employees across four different U.S. safety regions were eligible to enter a drawing for a new truck. To qualify, full-time field employees must complete one-year of service with no accidents and be employed by a branch that meets or exceeds the company’s threshold safety standards.
The four new truck winners for 2013 include:
• Carlos Bolainez, an Equipment Operator in the Golf Course Maintenance Division in Anaheim Hills, Calif., who’s been with the company for 8 years.
• Juan Lozano Vega, an Irrigation Technician in the Maintenance Division at the Denver South branch in Parker, Colo., who’s been with the company for 3 years.
• Alejandro Velez, a Gardener in the Maintenance Division at the Lake Buena Vista branch in Orlando, Fla., who’s been with the company for 6 years.
• Irais Hernandez Delfin, a Crew Leader in the Maintenance Division at the North Port branch in Englewood, Fla., who’s been with the company for 5 years.
