Their safety professionals really went to bat for us when we were negotiating with OSHA. “ Trisha Peare Power Design Inc. “Our firm called upon CORE Safety to provide Expert Witness testimony and advice for a large construction safety loss.

Their safety certifications, education, and experience make them ideal candidates for this type of work.” Jason Isaacson Evans Law Firm
“As a safety professional, I know that you can have all the safety procedures in place and still have accidents. Employees need to understand WHY they are important.

I will strive to do more to make it personal.” Safety Engineer BP Oil
