Safety builds success, and we are committed to both. All of our people, from field workers to senior management, support and contribute to the success of our Health Safety, and Environmental (HSE), and we continue to be an industry leader with safety ratings far below the industry average.  Lydig is among a select few general contractors in the state of Washington that are authorized to be self-insured for worker’s compensation. In conjunction with hazard elimination, and quality claims management, this provides a significant reduction in non-productive time and costs.
