Limbach has made safety a part of the cultural fabric of the company, where all employees are entitled to a safe and healthy work environment. There is no thinking “it’s not the right time” to talk about safety there is never a time when safety does not come first.
Continuing to educate Limbach ’ s employees in wellness, as well as safety, is crucial for its success. For example, texting has been disabled on company phones to prevent engaging in this dangerous behavior. Also, Limbach works closely with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to help locate missing children.
“We are committed to a culture that provides an Incident and Injury Free work environment, where Safety is a Core Value for our company, our employees and for all our other stakeholders. We Care.”
