At Greenup Industries safety is our middle name

The safety regulations at any refinery are extremely important and directly correlated to a staff's level of danger. Throughout the Gulf South, there are a large number of refineries, meaning there are thousands of workers who are at risk of injury for several hours a day. It is our job to make sure our people are safe.

Greenup Industries puts safety at the forefront of every job.

There are inherent risks present in the industrial industry that must not be overlooked. It takes a detail-oriented, meticulous team to provide the proper environment for those working in the refining industry, which is why you don't often hear of major accidents or disasters on sites. Extensive procedures are conducted to manage potential risks all the while keeping operations running smoothly for all workers and the communities that surround these sites. 

Because of the high safety standards, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports:

• Refining is one of the safest industrial activities in the US, with fewer worker injuries than sectors such as education, retail sales, and financial services

• The rate of non-fatal injuries among U.S. refinery workers declined by 36% between 2003 and 2011

• Refiners operate under extensive self-imposed safety measures designed to provide maximum protection to our communities,

Greenup Industries has been recognized for its efforts to keep safety standards a top priority in all of our work and this would not be possible without our team of experts working in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and California. The oil and gas industry could be so much more dangerous, but with crews like ours, negative statistics are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

Facilities Maintenance - Commercial Lawn care makes the First Impression

Throughout the South, winter often means we don’t have to focus much energy on lawn care. When considering your commercial business, first impressions are too important, so just because the freezing temperatures we’ve recently had have given us an excuse to focus our efforts on the inside, doesn’t mean we should start planning for the spring. Remember, the first thing clients and customers see when they arrive at your business is the exterior.

Here are 4 Key Benefits of Lawn Care Planning

Appearance 
The way clients and visitors perceive your business can make or break your success. An office/building with properly maintained landscaping ensures positive first impressions to clients and their networks. Those who see a well-maintained exterior will view your business as professional, fostering a sense of trust. Regardless of what services or products your company offers, if people see you take pride in the appearance of your business, they will associate your brand with high quality.

Safety
As always, safety is at the top of our minds at Greenup Industries. When landscaping is unkempt, this poses a potential danger to those going through your doors. Taking care of your lawn and landscaping means taking care of your staff, clients, and potential customers.

Save Money 
When you work with a lawn and landscaping business, like Greenup Specialty Services, you’ll get a professional opinion on what your business needs. Working with professionals to establish a budget and recurring maintenance allows you to save money long term. Work with Greenup Specialty Services to determine which types of plants, trees, and other foliage work best in your climate and terrain to avoid having to replace them later. Greenup Specialty Services can discuss and work with you on how to implement a design that works best for your business.

Establish a Landscape Management Plan 
There are plenty of benefits to establishing a landscape management plan. In addition to the aforementioned, a plan establishes a routine for commercial landscape maintenance care. This will help you and the property owners prepare for the upcoming seasons and anticipate what type of work needs to be done to keep the outside neat and manicured. A wonderful benefit to having a plan is that you can work with the lawn care service providers to adapt and better the landscaping over time, allowing for strategic cultivation that increases property value.

The Importance of Safety in the Oil and Gas Industry

At Greenup Industries, we are constantly reiterating to our clients the importance of safety on the job. Refinery work can be very high risk and that is why we put our employees through rigorous training before we send them out to begin work on-site. The safety and health of our employees is always at the forefront of what we do at Greenup Industries.

Key practices to ensure our team is always safe

In compliance with federal and state safety regulations, the refineries we partner with operate under strict safety measures. These safety measures are in addition to those already imposed by federal and local regulations. This allows for the most effective production and the safest environment for our team.

Some of the measures taken include:

·       Extensive safety training of employees and contractors

·       Reliable use of proper site equipment

·       Regular practice of safety and emergency procedures

·       Constant communication with staff and partners to ensure all production processes are aligned

·       Weekly inspections and maintenance repairs to equipment and machinery

·       Plan of action in response to safety concerns or hazards identified by Greenup Industries team on-site

While we continue to push these strict safety practices and maximize our commitment to keeping our staff out of harm’s way, our goal is to build trust with our most important partners.
