Safety and Quality
Safety
At Horizon, we are proud to have achieved 1,400,000 consecutive hours without time lost due to recordable incidents, a testament to our safety-first culture dating back to 2018. We believe that safety is paramount to our success, and this is reflected in our ongoing efforts to refine and improve our comprehensive safety program. Our team engages in weekly Shop and Field training and awareness sessions, with additional group training and safety award meetings held quarterly. Our current EMR (Experience Modification Rate) stands at .59, continually improving thanks to upgrades in our fabrication facility and the unwavering commitment of our employees. Emphasizing our dedication to safety, most Safety Committee members, shop, and field personnel have undergone extensive training and continuing education programs such as OSHA 30-Hour, OSHA 10-Hour, PPE, Fall Protection, Forklift Driver Training, CPR, and First Aid.

Horizon Glass Achieves Milestone as First NACC-Certified Contractor in Colorado
Horizon Glass, a Denver-based commercial glazing contractor, proudly announces its distinction as the first company in Colorado to achieve North American Contractor Certification (NACC). This prestigious certification, recognized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), acknowledges Horizon Glass for upholding industry-leading standards in architectural glass and metal subcontracting.
