Be Safe Barrier

General information

Our Story

Robert Rankin, President, and Bob Luckenbaugh, Vice President, met several years ago through gymnastics while watching their daughters go from level 3 beginners to skilled level 7 & 8 State champion gymnasts. During their many hours together, conversations frequently turned to work as both have over a decade of experience in the construction industry. Seeing an opportunity to provide a safe solution for their mutual customers, Be Safe Barrier was formed.

Robert has been instrumental in the design and implementation of temporary heating plans for thousands of buildings under construction. With OSHA requiring protection around temporary bulk propane systems, which are necessary for temporary heat, as well as construction site perimeter/lane protection, Robert continually saw how difficult it was for contractors to use the extremely heavy and cumbersome concrete road barriers. An opportunity to provide a safe and protective solution that required little or no involvement by the contractors was developed. Quickly installed and very portable, Be Safe Barrier became a welcome solution.

Bob, a concrete construction company Superintendent, brought his vast experience and knowledge with the use of concrete barrier protection. This proved to be extremely valuable in the development of Be Safe Barrier’s distribution and deployment strategy.

Together with their experience, knowledge, and drive to provide a customized solution for what was a construction site problem for their contractor partners, they have developed a product solution that has changed the way temporary protection is used.
