PPE is mandatory for every operation where hazards exist. Our standard PPE requirements for garden tasks include:

• High-visibility clothing to ensure staff are seen near roads and driveways
• Safety boots with toe protection for handling heavy items
• Gloves suitable for gardening and chemical handling
• Hearing protection for prolonged use of powered equipment
• Eye protection when cutting, grafting or trimming
• Respiratory protection as required for dusty work or chemical sprays

We provide, maintain and replace PPE as necessary. All PPE meets relevant British and European standards, and supervisors perform pre-start checks to confirm that garments and equipment are serviceable before every task.

We treat PPE not as optional, but as a fundamental control. This is part of the wider risk management culture that underpins an insured gardening company's operations in Deptford and across our service area.

Our risk assessment process is systematic, documented and proportional to the work being undertaken. Prior to starting any job our operatives conduct a site-specific assessment that identifies hazards, evaluates the level of risk and describes the controls needed to reduce those risks to an acceptable level. This is standard for both recurring maintenance visits and one-off landscaping projects.

The assessment follows a clear sequence: scope the work, identify hazards, determine who may be harmed, evaluate controls, record findings and review as necessary. Where risks cannot be fully controlled by simple measures, we escalate to higher-level controls, additional training or altered methodologies to preserve safety and insurance compliance.

Documentation and review are central. Every risk assessment is signed off by the operative and a supervisor, and any changes in site conditions trigger immediate reassessment. This audit trail supports our insured gardening services Deptford clients by showing that every decision was taken with safety and accountability in mind.
