Standards for Excellence

At NW Ohio Mechanical Contractors, we are dedicated to doing the best job possible.  We have a simple code of excellence — the UA Standards for Excellence — which govern our conduct on our customers’ jobsites. This is an abbreviated list of job professionalism that our employees abide by:

1.) Members of UA Local 50 arrive on the job ready to work, every day, on time.

2.) Personal cell phones will not be used during the work day with the exception of lunch and break periods.

3.) Zero tolerance for substance abuse.

4.) Keep inactive time to a minimum; be productive, eliminate job disruptions.

5.) Safely work towards on-time completion of projects.

6.) Waste and property destruction will not be tolerated.

7.) Respect customer, contractors and fellow members by dressing in a professional manner.

8.) Respect and obey employer and customer rules.

The contractor / employee team realizes that contractors need to adhere to a policy of  excellence as well.  Below are few bullet points from their extensive list.

1.) Ensure that all necessary tools and equipment are readily available to employees.

2.) Minimize workers’ downtime by ensuring blueprints, specifications, job layout instructions, and materials are readily available in a timely manner.

3.) Provide proper storage for contractor and employee tools.

4.) Provide the necessary leadership and problem-solving skills to jobsite supervision.

5.) Create and maintain a safe work environment.

6.) Promote and support continued education and training.

7.) Employ an adequate number of properly trained employees to efficiently perform the work in a safe manner.

These are just a few of the Standards by which our contractors and their employees conduct themselves to ensure that customers receive value on every project.  How do these Standards translate into customer value?  Customers will realize superior quality and productivity resulting in lower costs during the project, as well as for the life of the materials and equipment.  When something is constructed, installed or serviced by trained and experience experts who want to to their best every day, liablity and maintenance expenses are greatly diminished.
