Lehman-Roberts, a Granite Company, has been a leader in the highway paving and asphalt industry for more than 85 years. In 2019, the company recognized opportunities to further strengthen its safety program to ensure the well-being of every team member and maintain its reputation for operational excellence. As a small- to mid-sized organization, and before being acquired by Granite in 2023, Lehman-Roberts sought external coaching to enhance its safety culture and build sustainable processes for improvement. This led to a partnership with Caterpillar Safety Services to drive measurable results on its safety journey.
Since embarking on this journey in 2019, Lehman-Roberts has implemented significant safety advancements, including:
The impact of these initiatives has been transformative, with a 54.5% reduction in recordable injuries and a 45% year-over-year reduction in Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR). The team continues to measure and refine its efforts to ensure consistent, ongoing attention to safety across all operations.
