A crystal award is handed over to a member of the Invasive Phragmites Control Centre. The whole team is in the background, watching the award being handed over.

A graphic comes onscreen that says “Gold winner – Small Business Health and Safety Leadership Awards.”

I am thrilled to announce Invasive Phragmites Control Centre is the gold winner for our 2024 Small Business Health and Safety Leadership Awards.

 

A woman is sitting in a chair in front of a window.

A title card appears that says:

“Janice Gilbert

Executive Director

Invasive Phragmites Control Centre”

We help people deal with a very problematic invasive plant called invasive phragmites.

 

The screen cuts to images of hard hats and safety vests laid out on the tail gait of a truck.Health and Safety is actually a big priority for us, because of the work that we do.
Three men walk up to the truck and start putting on the hard hats and safety vests.Every site that we go to has different challenges for us.

A man appears on the screen along with a title card that says:

“Charles Simpson

Manual Controls Manager

Invasive Phragmites Control Centre”

How it feels to win? It’s fantastic.

A man in safety gear is kneeling next to the truck and is starting up an industrial grass trimmer.

Cut to the grass trimmer being clipped onto a safety belt, then to the man holding the handles of the trimmer and then to the Invasive Phragmites Control Centre logo on the side of the truck.

Everyone has contributed to this. Very proud of our company.

I was just over the top. The award is not the end to this.
Three men in hard hats and safety vests carry industrial grass trimmers and rakes as they walk away from a wooded area.Now we have a kick. Now let’s go on and do better.
