Landscaping safety training must prepare workers for the moment something goes wrong. 

The training helps workers with common emergency situations: 

• Cuts and wounds 

• Stings, bites, allergic reactions 

• Contact with utilities 

• Heat/cold exposure 

• Poison exposure or ingestion 

Workers learn when to call 911, how to monitor for anaphylaxis, and how to assist with an epinephrine auto-injector, as just a few examples. 

Our training reinforces check-in procedures, emergency plans, and limitations on high-risk tasks when working in an isolated environment. 

Safe Landscaping Starts with Training 

Outdoor work will always come with unpredictability, but training gives crews the ability to analyze hazards, evaluate changing conditions, apply controls, and respond under pressure. 

Landscaping safety training helps workers: 

• Select the right equipment for each task 

• Apply PPE for landscaping work based on hazard type 

• Reduce strain using ergonomic techniques 

• Monitor weather, smoke, and storm conditions 

• Recognize harmful plants, pests, and chemicals 

• Respond effectively to emergencies 

According to CCOHS, proactive hazard controls and proper PPE selection dramatically reduce the severity of landscaping injuries and exposures across Canada. We know that training helps crews apply those controls in real-world conditions. 

When we step back and look at a landscaping site, every safe decision traces back to one thing: training that prepares crews for the moment the environment shifts. In an instant, a routine trim, routine dig, or routine lift can turn into a critical event. Landscaping safety training gives workers the ability to anticipate those moments instead of reacting to them. 

If you’re ready to give your team the tools, confidence, and hazard awareness they need before the season ramps up, we are here to help. Explore our Landscaping Safety course and the full BIS online training library, and let us support you in building crews that return home safe at the end of every shift.
