Cincinnati 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.

The Cincinnati Branch and guests received valuable safety information and training from a variety of local experts just in time for the spring planting and maintenance season.
The Hamilton County Park's Glenwood Gardens new Maintenance and Training Facility was a perfect setting for this educational program and our hosts even arranged for a rare 80-degree, sunny day in March!
