Professional Safety & Management (PS&M) supplies qualified on‑site safety professionals who protect both workers in the field and the companies that employ them. When projects carry significant risk, regulatory scrutiny, or contractual safety requirements, having a dedicated safety professional on site helps prevent incidents, reduce claims and citations, and demonstrate clear due diligence to owners, insurers, and regulators.
From short‑term coverage to multi‑year assignments, PS&M matches you with professionals who fit your work environment and project demands, while handling the administrative burden so your team can stay focused on operations and delivery.

On‑Site Safety Roles We Provide
Site Safety & Health Officers (SSHO)For projects that must meet formal safety specifications (including EM 385‑1‑1 requirements), PS&M SSHOs provide daily oversight, documentation, and coordination that protect both workers and the organization’s contractual position. Typical placements include:
Federal and military construction projects
Healthcare and medical facility work under government oversight
Complex jobs with detailed owner safety specifications
Site Safety Officers (SSO)

Utility and energy projects
Contractor oversight and multi‑employer worksites
Turnarounds, shutdowns, and maintenance outages

Universities, public agencies, and municipal operations
