This fall, the National Association of Landscape Professionals named the recipients of its Safety Recognition Awards. Two ALCC members—Swingle Lawn, Tree & Landscape, and Timberline Landscaping, Inc.—were among those honored. Two other Colorado-based companies—KIRA, Inc. and Lupine Lawn Care—were also recognized.

Last week, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently released a Small Entity Compliance Guide for Construction for the Respirable Crystalline Silica Standard. According to OSHA, “the guide is intended to help small business employers comply with the rule by explaining each requirement in easy-to-understand language.”
