Treescapes ® have a 100% record
on all aspects of Health and Safety. In an industry known for the
potential of accidents we are proud to announce this. The
monitoring of work procedures, the first-rate equipment we use and
the obligatory risk assessment we always carry out are part of
this. However, the single most important factor in the record we
carry is the standard of training our staff receive. Their skills,
attitude and behaviour reflect this. Our staff are all
minimum NVQ Level II trained and hold NPTC qualifications.
Any new staff taken on are always placed onto a training program to
achieve these minimum standards. We are licenced by the
Environment Agency to carry waste.
