New Safety Officer - Tom Brown:
During the winter of 2017 we added the new position of safety officer to our staff. Tom Brown joined Carroll County Landscape, Inc. in 2015. He has been a member of our installation crew, maintenance crew, bark blowing crew and pruning crew. He is always anxious to expand his knowledge and attend the many educational opportunities we make available to our employees. Tom has a BS in Community and Environmental Planning from UNH. Prior to working for Carroll County Landscape, Inc. Tom was a data management specialist for the Strafford Regional Planning Commission. While at SRPC he was also involved in improving the safety program for fieldwork through the acquisition of roadway safety equipment and the creation of new field protocols.

Tom’s past experience of running a safety program coupled with his great organizational skills has made him a perfect fit as our safety officer. He conducts our company quarterly safety meetings and monitors safety procedures and equipment for us on a daily basis. He is our go-to person for anything safety related.
