A Culture of Safety
At Vericon, safety stands as the cornerstone and an essential component of how Vericon builds better.
From preconstruction through project completion, our commitment to safety drives how we collaborate, build responsibly, and deliver exceptional results to our clients and partners.
Our Commitment
to Safety
Vericon takes pride in an award-winning safety culture built on leadership, accountability, and continuous improvement. Our entire organization is dedicated to ensuring that every person on our jobsites, including employees, subcontractors and partners, returns home safely each day. This commitment is reinforced through regular training, proactive oversight and adherence to industry-leading standards. Vericon is also vetted and approved by ISNetworld and Avetta.
Our current Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.631 is well below the industry average of 1.0, ranking Vericon among the safest contractors in New Jersey according to the New Jersey Compensation Rating and Inspection Bureau (NJCRIB).

Brian Besser
Safety Director
Safety is, and always will be, Vericon’s number one priority. We set the standard by ensuring it is the top priority for every contractor and subcontractor we work with.
My mission is to create job sites where safety is never compromised–protecting every Vericon employee and subcontractor across the country. Because at the end of the day, nothing matters more than ensuring every worker makes it home to their family.

Building a Safer Industry
Vericon builds better by promoting a culture of safety that extends beyond our own projects. We are committed to raising awareness of safety standards and improving practices throughout the industry. Our team actively participates in the annual OSHA National Safety Stand-Down To Prevent Falls In Construction and the annual “Safety Day” sponsored by the Associated Construction Contractors of New Jersey, reinforcing our belief that safety education and shared responsibility make the entire construction community stronger.
At Vericon, safety is embedded in everything we do. Safety first, last, and always.
