We are not afraid to try new things or think about problems in a completely different way to find groundbreaking, creative solutions for our clients.

Sustainability

We are dedicated to leaving our communities — and our planet — better and cleaner than we found it. F.D. Hayes continues to minimize the environmental impact of projects through efficient project management techniques and the innovative application of modern light controls, smart building system integration and energy management systems.

Hayes is trained above and beyond requirements from the state because, to us, quality is who we are and what you deserve.

Quality Training Program

We have developed and maintained an extensive training program that exceeds industry standards and State of Michigan requirements. To give our customers the quality installation they deserve and to ensure the safety of our employees, we annually invest in the best equipment and training available in the market. Annually, our employees receive training direct from manufacturers such as Generac, Commscope, Carehawk and Systimax, to name a few.

Commitment to Safety

Safety is a top priority to us and our customers. It is a constant consideration, whether we’re in the office or at a job site. We are devoted to successfully implementing and continuously improving our programs. Over the past century in the industry, we believe we have perfected a safety program that works.

Our team has developed a company-wide safety program to help train and reinforce safety standard and practices. The F.D. Hayes Safety Program is a management-driven curriculum built through a cooperative effort on behalf of every employee of our company.

In addition to weekly use of the NECA Safety Meeting App, we have our own in-depth training program. It includes confined space, lock out/tag out, NEC update, respirable silica, personal protective equipment, asbestos, lead, COVID-19 and First Aid/CPR training, among other things. We know the importance of professional training in our industry and are proactive in this area.
