Safety Is a Promise, Not Just a Program
Safety means using the right equipment, in the right way, every time
At BrightView, safety is more than a program—it’s a promise. As part of the company’s National Safety Month series, the spotlight is on a critical area of focus: equipment and machinery safety.
Each day, BrightView teams rely on powerful tools and heavy machinery to deliver exceptional results for clients.
“Every piece of equipment we use is a tool to help us do great work, but only when we operate it safely,” said Cindy Snider, Senior Manager, Environmental Health, and Safety. “Taking a shortcut or skipping a check might save a minute, but it could cost a life. Safety isn't just a policy; it's a promise we make to ourselves and to each other every day.”
Preventing equipment accidents begins with awareness and action. BrightView requires every team member to follow key safety practices:
- Inspect equipment before use. Look for signs of wear, leaks, or missing guards.
- Use safety features and PPE without exception—never bypass guards or controls.
- Stay alert and focused. Distractions, rushing, or taking shortcuts can lead to injuries.
- Report issues immediately. If something doesn’t seem right, stop and speak up.
Whether using mowers, trimmers, or heavy machinery, each piece of equipment has the potential to help, or harm. That’s why BrightView counts on every team member to operate responsibly and to look out for one another.
At BrightView, working safely means working smart. When safety comes first, the company protects what matters most: its people.
Let’s keep safety in gear for every shift and every job.
Push for perfection 3-6-5!
