Henningsen Cold Storage Company was recognized at both of its Portland OR facilities by the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) On-Site Consultation Program’s Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) for continuing to exceed injury and illness prevention standards.

Both facilities have maintained a DART (Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred) rate below the national average within the transportation and warehousing industry. The facilities also continue to show a commitment to safety and health across all levels of associates, including corporate level management.

“The team at Henningsen Cold Storage believes the Oregon OSHA SHARP program is important because it provides a nationally recognized and supported structure that showcases Henningsen’s commitment to the safety of our associates and to the community in which we operate,” said James Denmark, general manager of the Portland East facility. “Henningsen knows by partnering with Oregon OSHA and the SHARP program we not only exceed the national standards for safety, but we also stand out from our competitors as a best-in-class workplace for our associates and a secure facility for our customers.”

Henningsen Cold Storage is the sixth company in Oregon, within the transportation and warehousing industries, to have graduated from the OSHA SHARP program. The firm also has SHARP-certified facilities in Forest Grove OR, Twin Falls ID, Grand Forks ND, and Scranton PA. Henningsen’s Richland WA facility is a Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act of 1973 (WISHA)-certified Safety Through Achieving Recognition Together (START) facility.
