The roles we place
Site Safety & Health Officers (SSHO). For projects bound to formal safety specifications — including EM 385-1-1 on federal and military construction — our SSHOs deliver the daily oversight, documentation, and coordination that protect both your workers and your contractual position. Typical placements: federal construction, healthcare facilities under government oversight, and jobs with detailed owner safety specifications.
Site Safety Officers (SSO). On construction, industrial, and energy projects, SSOs keep the site compliant, coordinate contractor safety on multi-employer worksites, and shut problems down before they become recordables. Built for utility and energy work, contractor oversight, and turnarounds, shutdowns, and maintenance outages.
Safety & Health Managers. For larger or ongoing operations, an embedded safety manager gives you sustained leadership — fewer injuries, stronger programs, and a documented defense when audits, claims, and client reviews arrive. Common homes: general contractors, manufacturing facilities, universities, and public agencies.
What does an on-site safety professional actually do?
An on-site safety professional owns daily hazard control on your site: inspections, contractor coordination, incident response, and the documentation trail that proves due diligence. They prevent recordable incidents before they happen — and when regulators, insurers, or owners come asking, the paperwork is already done, dated, and defensible.
More than “watching the job,” a PS&M placement:
- Prevents the incidents that trigger claims, schedule slips, and reputational damage
- Closes documentation gaps before an inspection finds them — see our workplace safety audits for the systematic version
- Strengthens your position with owners, insurers, and prequalification platforms like ISN and Avetta
- Signals to clients that safety is actively managed on your site, not just written into a binder
What PS&M carries so you don’t have to
- Recruiting and matching — a vetted national network, matched to your project type, industry, and regulatory context
- Screening and verification — credentials, experience, and references checked before a candidate ever reaches you
- Onboarding logistics — orientation, documentation, and reporting expectations coordinated before day one
- Insurance and workers’ compensation — carried by PS&M, keeping your risk profile and admin load clean
- Continuity — fill-ins, project roles, and long-term assignments that survive staffing changes, outages, and peak season
Who this is for
Contractors facing owner or contract safety-staffing requirements. Facility operators without a full-time safety hire. Companies scaling faster than their safety org. And any employer whose next project carries more regulatory scrutiny than the last one — which, in construction, data centers, and power generation, is most of them.
Need the professional to arrive already trained on your hazards? We pair placements with OSHA 30-hour supervisor training and site-specific orientation so coverage starts strong on day one.
