Occupational Safety Consulting
Fractional, ongoing, and project-based safety leadership for small and mid-market businesses — and additional bandwidth for established EHS teams.
15+years designing safety management systems that hold up in the field
What We Do
Bolster Safety Craft designs and implements Safety Management Systems that align with each organization's unique risk profile.
The work is preventive by nature — built to proactively identify, rank, reduce, and manage the risks that can’t be eliminated. Audits diagnose; services are prescribed. Nothing is sold from a menu.
The meaning behind the name
/ˈboʊlstər/ verb
To support, strengthen or reinforce.
Four movements, one system — the name is the method.
A load-bearing base goes in first. The system gains a foundation that carries weight before anything else is asked of it.
Secondary members connect and share the load, so no single point carries the operation alone.
Braces and joints lock the structure together. Connections are checked, fastened, and made dependable.
The finished system holds its shape over time — inspected, maintained, and ready for pressure.
A safety-management system should not merely exist. It should hold up when the operation is under pressure.
Bolster Safety Craft builds safety-management systems the same way: supported, strengthened, reinforced, and sustained.
How Engagements Work
Every engagement is scoped to how your risk actually behaves — embedded leadership, a recurring cadence, or a defined project.
Monthly Retainer
An outsourced safety director on a monthly retainer — senior leadership embedded in your operation without the full-time expense. Retainer clients draw on reserved Storehouse hourly blocks as projects and consultation arise.
Scheduled Cadence
Recurring audits, training, and industrial hygiene monitoring on a set schedule — documented and trended so improvements compound instead of resetting.
Defined Scope
A diagnostic assessment, a written program, an M&A due-diligence review, or an incident response — scoped, delivered, and closed out with a documented report.
Services / Integrated safety system
Eight connected disciplines One accountable safety system
Who We Serve
Organizations that want big-business safety proficiency without hiring a full-time safety director.
Supplemental bandwidth and specialized expertise for larger employers with dedicated staff.
Sellers strengthening safety ahead of a sale; buyers completing due diligence before acquisition.
Our Process
Effort without process is energy without direction.
Objective identification of hazards, evaluation of current controls and their effectiveness, benchmarked against compliance and industry-leading standards.
Written programs, training and communication, and audits — scheduled, delivered, and documented against your specific risk profile.
Ongoing assessments, leading-indicator tracking, and corrective-action follow-through so improvements compound instead of resetting.
Founder-Led
My prescriptive services are preventive in nature, equipping companies to proactively identify, rank, reduce, and manage risks that cannot be eliminated. Fifteen-plus years across factories, construction sites, farms, hospitals, laboratories, vessels, vehicle fleets, heavy-equipment operations, and OSHA offices inform how I approach every engagement.
Why Bolster Safety Craft
Craft is the difference between a binder on a shelf and a system your operation runs on.
Eight working principles — the standard every program, audit, and training session is built against.
Common Questions
The same things a full-time safety director does — audits, written programs, training, incident response, leadership reporting — on a monthly retainer sized to your operation. You get senior-level leadership without the full-time salary, and retainer clients can draw on hourly Storehouse blocks as projects arise.
Almost always with a Diagnostic Assessment: a corporate-level audit that identifies hazards, evaluates your current controls, and benchmarks against compliance and industry standards. From there, services are prescribed to your specific risk profile — not sold from a menu.
Both. Audits, industrial hygiene sampling, training, and incident response happen onsite. Program writing, dashboards, and advisory work are handled remotely. Engagements are available across the United States.
General industry and manufacturing (heavy, light/assembly, food), construction across all trades and phases, DOT and non-DOT fleets, agriculture, and laboratories — including combination operations that blend categories.
Yes. That includes preparatory work (mock audits, program reviews), onsite inspection support, Rapid Response Investigation guidance, mandatory notification handling, and informal contest representation after citations.
Yes — supplementation is a core engagement type. Established teams bring Bolster in for bandwidth (multi-site audit cycles, training pushes) or for specialized work like industrial hygiene sampling, machine-safeguarding assessments, and M&A due diligence.
