SAFETY

SAFETY-FOCUSED CONSTRUCTION AT HENNING COMPANIES

Safety is not just a priority, but a way of life. Our processes and procedures are continuously refined and implemented to reduce our Experience Modification Rate to zero. We take an aggressive, proactive stance with all project team members to ensure everyone understands the expectations for safety from the outset and is trained to Henning Companies standards for general safe job site practices before a project-specific plan is drafted with input from the owner.

In addition, it is critical that everyone strictly adheres to our safety processes and mission of zero tolerance for accidents. Accordingly, all of our construction sites operate as drug-free zones with zero tolerance through the successful implementation of our drug and alcohol policy.

PRIORITIZING QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

Quality impacts every aspect of a project at Henning Companies. Our high standards for quality assurance and quality control drive performance—from the work of our internal teams to the work of our trusted trades. Quality control begins with our scope documents, where we define site-specific plans with measurable metrics for quality assurance. Every phase of the project is considered, with specific plans defined for each. This proactive approach ensures that we maintain our “quality-first” mindset.

Jim Miller, Henning Companies’ Quality Director has this to say about our quality control program, “In all that we do, quality assurance and quality control are priorities. It is a direct aspect of our core value to always do the right thing and a key function for how we deliver solutions with a positive impact.”
