Why Site Safety Matters—And How We Deliver It

A safe job site is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s the foundation of a successful construction project. Injuries, unsafe conditions, or disruptions caused by poor site management can derail schedules, inflate costs, and erode trust between project teams and clients.

At Liebhaber Company, we view safety not as a checkbox, but as a critical driver of quality, efficiency, and professionalism. A safe site is a well-run site—and that directly benefits the entire design and construction team.

Over our 30+ year history, we’ve developed our own comprehensive safety protocols to go beyond industry minimums. Our crews are fully trained in OSHA standards and stay up to date on all local, state, and federal safety regulations. Personal protective equipment is always mandatory on our sites. We also ensure that proper ventilation and climate control are maintained year-round to support the health and comfort of our tradespeople—especially when working in enclosed spaces. A well-illuminated job site is equally essential, reducing the risk of accidents and improving the precision of on-site work.

We prioritize order and cleanliness—tools are stored properly, floors are cleared of debris, and materials are organized to prevent hazards and maintain workflow continuity. Where possible, we use battery-powered tools to reduce the need for extension cords, a common tripping hazard. If cords are necessary, they are elevated and secured out of walkways.

In buildings where we might be working on a lobby, hallways, or an amenity space, our team implements site-specific protocols to protect building staff and residents, including controlled access, clear signage, and ongoing communication with property management.

This commitment is reflected in our consistently low Experience Modification Rate (EMR), a key industry metric that indicates a contractor’s safety record. A low EMR not only demonstrates safer practices, it also helps reduce insurance premiums—translating to fewer delays and real cost savings for project owners.

Safety isn’t just about avoiding incidents—it’s about creating the conditions for efficient, uninterrupted work, and delivering successful outcomes for everyone involved.
