Safety First – Cordless Job Sites
In the world of construction, safety guidelines and regulations on job sites are typically mandated by federal, state, or local laws, ensuring the protection of both people and property. However, there are times when a general contractor feels the need to implement additional safety rules or procedures.
For instance, Liebhaber Company has decided that all its job sites must be cordless and extension cord-free. This means that power tools will operate on batteries, and machines requiring a plug, like table saws, will be positioned near outlets to avoid using extension cords on the floor. If an extension cord must be used, it will be suspended from the ceiling instead of laid on the ground.
While this safety procedure might sound simplistic, accidents caused by cluttered or poorly maintained work areas happen daily on job sites. If a general contractor can prevent injuries and the associated costs of construction accidents, then everyone benefits. At Liebhaber Company, we believe in taking proactive steps to enhance safety and protect our team and all others that may spend time on the job site.
