Landscaping Industry Workers Face Many Hazards |
|
Landscaping and horticultural service workers are at risk of injury from a variety of potential hazards, including exposure to chemicals, noise, machinery, lifting, construction, and weather-related hazards. Hazards are addressed in OSHA's general industry standards if work is considered maintenance activity, and construction standards if work is related to building activity. Implementing a comprehensive safety and health program is an important tool in providing both a safe, and profitable workplace. For help identifying hazards and solutions, visit OSHA’s Landscape and Horticultural Services webpage.

OSHA and the American Staffing Association signed an Alliance to continue their longstanding collaboration to raise awareness among host and staffing employers about safety and health issues that impact temporary workers. Whether temporary or permanent, all workers always have a right to a safe and healthy workplace. The staffing agency and the staffing agency’s client (the host employer) are joint employers of temporary workers and, therefore, both are responsible for providing and maintaining a safe work environment for those workers.
