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) For construction, industrial, and energy sector projects, SSOs help ensure site compliance, coordinate contractor safety, and address issues before they become recordable incidents or major disruptions. They are well suited for:

  • Utility and energy projects

  • Contractor oversight and multi‑employer worksites

  • Turnarounds, shutdowns, and maintenance outages

Safety & Health Managers

For larger or ongoing operations, Safety & Health Managers provide sustained leadership that protects the organization over the long term—reducing injuries, strengthening programs, and helping defend the company during audits, claims, and client reviews. Common placements include:

  • General contractors and construction managers

  • Manufacturing and industrial facilities

  • Universities, public agencies, and municipal operations


How On‑Site Safety Supervision Protects Your Organization


A dedicated safety professional does more than “watch the job.” PS&M placements help:

  • Prevent injuries and serious incidents that can lead to claims, schedule delays, and reputational damage

  • Reduce regulatory exposure by addressing hazards and documentation gaps before inspections or incidents

  • Improve documentation quality, supporting your defense in the event of investigations, disputes, or prequalification reviews

  • Strengthen client confidence that safety is actively managed, not just written into policies
