Grunder Landscaping receives award

DAYTON, Ohio — Grunder Landscaping has announced that it was recently awarded an Overall Safety Achievement Award from the Professional Landcare Network (PLANET.)

The award, part of PLANET’s annual Safety Recognition Awards Program and sponsored by CNA, honors those companies with thorough, high-performing safety programs that create and maintain safe work environments in the green industry. It is designed to reward green industry companies that consistently demonstrate their commitment to safety.

Grunder was evaluated on number of accidents, number of days that employees were away from work and number of employee injuries and illnesses. In addition, a checklist was used to rate the company’s complete safety program.

“Safety is a top priority here at Grunder Landscaping,” said Walt Peter, production manager and head of safety at the company. “We communicate with our team members continually about being safe and are committed to train them properly, using only the safest methods and equipment available.”
