Safety
Award-winning and life-changing. By design.
At Shambaugh, we recognize that people are our most important resource, and protecting our resources is paramount to the design of our safety program.

It’s safe to say that safety was designed with both the construction and end user perspective in mind. During construction, rules and regulations often dictate which safety elements are required; however, things like access points, load requirements, fall prevention, security and alarms, and air quality all factor into design safety for both construction and end user.
Safe at every level.
Shambaugh's commitment to safety can be felt at every level of the company, from the top down and the bottom up. Our approach helps guarantee the safest possible construction Design-Build mechanical, electrical, plumbing, refrigeration, fire protection, and facilities maintenance projects.
