Conventional wisdom would say that integrating state-of-the-art safety features into every aspect of a project would significantly add to the cost. The professional engineers and architects at LJB challenged that thought more than a decade ago.

We believed that incorporating safety into the design process could actually have a positive impact on a company’s safety, quality and productivity. We were right. Costs can be lowered, task performance improved and life-threatening work hazards reduced.

These efforts evolved into Safety by Design^® - an innovative blending of safety with engineering and architectural design. The cost benefits of this service are maximized when applied in the earliest stages of a design process. But, fortunately, owners will experience benefits when safety is considered at any stage along the project continuum: planning, design, construction, facility use and maintenance.
