Staff qualifying for this award will have completed a six unit module which gives them basic understanding of Health & Safety, enables them to perform basic border maintenance, turf maintenance and hard surface maintenance tasks; operate hand held machinery and perform basic planting and aftercare tasks. The individual units have been developed to allow everybody, irrespective of ability and experience, to benefit from this practical based training.

We believe that setting standards will show demonstrable benefits to our clients, our staff and the grounds maintenance industry. Advantages will include providing a standardised service delivery, encouraging staff retention, enhancing production and delivering key skills to specification. Today has been a shining example of the success of the programme and to the dedication and commitment of those receiving their certificates.‟ Tel 0845 057 6600 ext 6213 • ISS Facility Services Landscaping contracts cover the whole of the country, employing over 1500 core and 100 seasonal staff who operate from over 40 depots and offices
