Branch Hosts Successful Member Educational Program
The
Greater Cincinnati Branch held another successful member educational
program on March 13th. The theme was "Safety in the Workplace"
and the half-day program included lunch.
Important and
interesting safety topics were presented by local experts. Basic
first aid techniques for use in the field and at the shop were explained
by the Red Cross; two representatives from the Ohio Bureau of Workers
Compensation enlightened the group on claim prevention; and an expert
from Bryan Equipment presented a Stihl power equipment safety and
maintenance demonstration.
The host for
the program was the Hamilton County Park District, who graciously
donated the use of their new maintenance and training facility in
Glenwood Gardens. Bob Harris, Landscape Superintendent and Manager
of Glenwood Gardens also gave PGMS members an overview of this newest
park and the maintenance facility.
Over 36 people
attended this event and represented the following member organizations
and guests: Cincinnati State Technical College, Cedarville University,
University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, Wright State University,
Madison Tree Service, Davey Resource Group, Paul Brown Stadium,
Spring Grove Cemetery, Oak Hill Cemetery, and the Cincinnati Zoo
and Botanical Gardens.
