Most safety consultants have never done the work.
We started as laborers, ran equipment, led crews, and worked every level of demolition and industrial operations before becoming safety leaders. That's the difference.
The demolition and industrial industry has a fundamental problem: safety is still treated as a checkbox rather than a core part of how work gets planned, sequenced, and executed. Contractors react. They don't build it in.
Saber NW exists to close that gap — not by handing over binders full of procedures nobody reads, but by engaging every level of a project, from ownership and executive leadership down to the supervisors and workers who do the actual work.
Built-in safety is worth more than a thousand administrative controls. And the demo contractor succeeding is everyone succeeding.
We provide high-level safety and project leadership for demolition, abatement, environmental, and complex industrial work — as an owner's representative, client advocate, or embedded field safety consultant. Wherever the work is, we go.
Your eyes, voice, and protection on demolition and high-risk projects. We keep your interests front and center from pre-construction through closeout — someone who actually understands what's happening on that site.
Field-present safety leadership for demo and heavy construction. We know the machinery, the sequencing, the hazards, and the people doing the work. Real oversight from someone who's been on both sides of the fence.
Pre-demolition hazard reviews, site-specific safety planning, and sequencing oversight for complex structural, industrial, and environmental remediation scopes. We understand what's feasible — because we've done it.
Audits that go beyond checklists. We assess real conditions, real behavior, and real risk — then communicate findings clearly to both field crews and executive leadership.
Programs built around how work actually happens — not templates that gather dust. SOPs, JHAs, site plans, and training frameworks that field crews understand, supervisors enforce, and owners can trust.
Real answers, not reports written to minimize liability. Thorough root-cause investigations that find what actually happened, protect your organization, and prevent recurrence.
Federal OSHA and Washington State L&I/WAC compliance support including citation response, EMR improvement strategy, audit preparation, and client-facing safety narratives.
Risk register development and ongoing monitoring for high-exposure scopes — asbestos, lead, silica, PCBs, confined spaces, crane and critical lifts, fall hazards, and heavy equipment operations.
Practical training that supervisors can actually use. Toolbox talks, leadership coaching, and hands-on development that builds safety culture from the middle out — where it has to live.
Specialized planning for confined space entry, crane and rigging, critical lifts, torch cutting, structural removal, bridge and infrastructure work, and high-reach demolition. Plans that reflect how the work will actually be executed.
Saber NW was built on a simple premise: the best consultant is the one who's been where your workers are standing.
David Saber didn't start his career in an office writing safety programs. He started as a laborer at Envirocon in 2010, learning demolition, abatement, and environmental remediation from the ground up — progressing into equipment operation, foreman-level responsibility, and eventually into the Health and Safety Department as a Safety Technician around 2015.
That foundation defined everything since. Working across industrial, commercial, demolition, abatement, and heavy civil environments, David advanced through safety leadership roles including Regional Health & Safety Manager and ultimately Director of Health & Safety — overseeing company safety programs, audits, incident investigations, regulatory compliance, and supervisor development at scale.
Saber NW is the next chapter: bringing that full-spectrum experience directly to owners, clients, and project teams who need real oversight, not a clipboard consultant who's never touched the work.
