Safety, Quality and Productivity
“Safety, Quality, and Productivity – in that order!” was how Arrowall owner and president Bill Morris concluded an internal memo to Arrowall employees after returning from Houston with DE Harvey Builders Large Subcontractor Category Safety Award for 2013. In that year Arrowall completed the Anadarko Hackett Tower – featured on our home page and portfolio – with NO recordable safety incidents. Not ones to rest on our laurels, Arrowall continues to strive to perfect it’s safety programs company wide.
