Safety First: How RCI Ensures Crew Well-Being in Extreme Weather

Introduction
Extreme weather is a constant reality in the South—scorching heat, heavy rains, and storm risks. For RCI, landscape maintenance isn’t just about properties; it’s about people. Keeping crews safe in challenging conditions is at the heart of our landscape management philosophy.

Hydration and Cooling Practices

RCI implements hydration stations, electrolyte replenishment, and mandatory shade breaks to combat heat stress. By prioritizing worker safety, crews remain healthy and more effective in maintaining commercial landscapes.

Shifting Schedules for Safety

In peak summer, schedules are adjusted to avoid the hottest hours. Morning or evening shifts allow teams to complete landscape maintenance tasks without risking heat exhaustion. This not only protects workers but ensures landscape management remains uninterrupted.

Equipment and Training Standards

Protective gear, proper footwear, and updated equipment reduce risks during both storms and high-heat conditions. Regular training ensures every crew member is prepared to recognize and respond to hazards while delivering high-quality commercial landscape services.

Conclusion
Safety and efficiency go hand in hand. By taking proactive measures, RCI protects its team and ensures clients’ landscapes thrive year-round, no matter the weather.
