Construction Safety Retainer Services.
For contractors who want ongoing safety support without the cost of a full-time hire, a monthly retainer gives you priority access to a safety professional who already knows your operation, so when something comes up you're not starting over with someone new.
Three Sizes of Monthly Support
Essential: 10 hrs / month
- Priority access during business hours (6 AM to 6 PM, M to F)
- Site visits, drive time, calls, and documentation included
Advanced: 15 hrs / month
- Priority access during business hours
- Faster turnaround on documentation and reports
Premium: 20 hrs / month
- Priority access including urgent after-hours response
- Fastest turnaround on all documentation
- First priority scheduling for site visits
Whatever Your Safety Program Needs That Month
Site visits, drive time, calls, and documentation all come out of the same hours, so you use them where they help most.
- Site walks and inspections, with findings your superintendent can act on
- Reviewing hazard analyses, site plans, and subcontractor safety submittals before work starts
- Help after a near miss or incident, from the first call through the follow-up
- Answers when an owner, general contractor, or inspector asks a question you want checked
- Keeping your written program, training records, and designations current
- Toolbox talks and short training tailored to the work you have that month
Someone Who Already Knows Your Jobs
The value of a retainer builds over time. Each month, the safety professional working with you learns more about your crews, your superintendents, the way you like to run work, and the kinds of jobs you bid. That means shorter calls, quicker turnaround on reviews, and advice that fits your company instead of a generic answer.
A retainer suits contractors who are growing but not yet ready for a full-time safety manager, contractors with a safety manager who could use backup and a second opinion, and contractors moving into federal work who want help with what EM 385-1-1 adds. When a project needs someone on site every day, we can talk about site safety staffing or SSHO staffing instead, or alongside.
Optimum Safety is led by Kali Irvin, CSP, CHST (both through BCSP), currently an SSHO on a federal construction project under EM 385-1-1. We're a small business, which gives us more flexibility than a large firm usually has, and you work directly with the people who know your account.
