The STARS Safe Company Program (Safety Training Achieves Remarkable Success) is a free safety initiative designed for companies to set the precedent for safety throughout the industry. The STARS program helps green industry service provider companies lower their total costs of risk by reducing hazards and injuries. With this initiative, PLANET works to connect all green industry companies in an effort to lessen the risks associated with the green industry.
Participants of the program are asked to sign a Safe Company Pledge that commits their company to:
- Follow the guidelines in the Safety Program for Green Industry Companies (CD) for developing a safe company,
- Establish an active safety committee within their company,
- Conduct regular safety-awareness training,
- Document, measure, and investigate every accident,
- Meet OSHA posting and regulatory requirements,
- Enter the annual PLANET/CNA Safety Recognition Awards Program,
- Share their best safety practices with their fellow STARS members, and,
- Encourage others to become STARS members.
