Safety

Our Leadership Team considers no phase of operations more important than employee safety. The success of our industry-leading Safety Program relies on extensive employee training through program enhancements such as VIVID Learning, real-time input from members of our Safety Advisory Group, a safety manual available in Spanish, and continuous improvements to each section of our safety policies and protocols. Our current Experience Modification Rating (EMR) is 0.62 – one of the best safety numbers in the area for our class of work. Most recently, Ward-Henshaw was given the AGC’s Safety P.R.I.D.E. (Program Recognition Indicating Dedication & Excellence) award, which was designed to recognize members who are continuously improving through safety innovations.

From the very beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak Ward-Henshaw has proactively addressed mitigation efforts on our jobsites, educated our employees about best-practices to minimize exposure to and transmission of the virus, and worked in a collaborative manner with all Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ’s) to protect Ward-Henshaw employees, their families, and the local community in the best manner possible. We will continue this diligent effort with a commitment to the overall safety and well-being of the communities in which we work.
