At Hensel Phelps, we understand that accidents are prevented through careful planning, training and cooperative efforts in all areas of our operations. Therefore, safety is the responsibility of every Hensel Phelps employee and the single focus of our corporate safety team. All work is performed in the safest manner possible consistent with good construction practices. Construction is a unique industry in terms of safety challenges and advancements. While construction methods and techniques have improved, consistently increasing industry efficiency and productivity, the accident incidence rate for construction continues to be of concern. Direct and indirect job costs for doing business are known to fluctuate in direct proportion to the incidence of accidents. Effective preventive measures must be identified and successfully applied. Exemplifying Hensel Phelps' commitment to safety, the firm recently received the H.B. Alexander Award for Safety from the Associated General Contractors for the highest work hour exposure without a construction lost workday case, in addition to numerous other awards including OSHA recognition.
