At Harris, product quality is of the utmost importance. We are fully committed to providing our customers with exceptional, defect-free products through effective risk management and continuous improvement. All employees understand that maintaining our ISO 9001 and AS9100 certifications is the foundation of everything we do. These certifications guide our operations and reinforce our culture of consistency, accuracy, and accountability—ensuring that every product meets or exceeds customer expectations. To support this commitment, we have established clear quality standards aligned with both internal and customer requirements, as well as applicable industry standards.

This proactive safety plan helps to:

  • Prevent occupational injuries
  • Reduce lost time and wages due to workplace incidents
  • Minimize the risk of business operations being disrupted

Our approach to safety is guided by the Harris Safety Manual, which outlines policies, procedures, and responsibilities designed to maintain a safe working environment. By embedding safety into daily operations and involving employees at every level, we continuously strengthen our safety culture and remain committed to the well-being of our team.
