Outsourced Safety Director Services for Ohio Companies
You need someone to own safety: the programs, the training, the records, the site visits, and the call when something goes wrong. You may not need, or be ready to hire, a full-time safety director. The Safety Pro Group serves as your outsourced safety director. Our experienced safety professionals manage your safety program on an ongoing basis, for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

What Is an Outsourced Safety Director?
An outsourced safety director, sometimes called a fractional safety director or contract safety manager, is an experienced safety professional who runs your safety program as part of your team without being on your payroll. You get senior safety leadership, a dedicated point of contact, and the hands-on support of a full safety consulting firm, scaled to your company’s size and risk.
Signs Your Company Needs Outsourced Safety Services
- Safety was handed to an office manager, HR lead, or superintendent who already has a full-time job.
- You’re growing fast, adding crews, sites, or new types of work.
- Clients are asking for prequalification, safety statistics, or a dedicated safety contact.
- Your workers’ compensation costs or injury rates are climbing.
- You’ve had a recent incident, OSHA inspection, or citation.
- Your written programs, training records, or OSHA 300 logs are out of date.
What’s Included
Every engagement is built around your needs. A typical plan includes:
Safety Program Management
We maintain your written safety programs, update policies as regulations and operations change, and make sure your program is followed in the field.
Training Administration
We plan your annual training calendar, deliver safety training and weekly toolbox talks, and keep every employee’s training record current.
Scheduled Site Visits & Audits
Regular jobsite safety audits keep supervisors and subcontractors accountable and catch hazards early.
Recordkeeping & OSHA Logs
We maintain your OSHA 300 log and 300A summary, incident reports, and training documentation so your records are complete and ready for review.
Safety Metrics & Reporting
We track the numbers that matter, including injury rates, training completion, audit findings, and corrective actions, and report them to leadership so you can see progress over time.
Client & Prequalification Support
We serve as your safety contact for clients and keep your ISNetworld, Avetta and Veriforce accounts current.
Incident & OSHA Support
If something goes wrong, we lead accident investigations and provide OSHA inspection representation.
Ohio BWC Programs
We guide you through Ohio BWC programs, including the Ohio BWC SUPR Program (formerly the Drug-Free Safety Program), its year-end bonus, and its reimbursement grants.

Who We Serve
Our outsourced safety services are a fit for small and mid-sized contractors, manufacturers, and service companies that need professional safety management without a full department. We work with construction, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, utility, and trucking companies throughout Ohio.
Outsourced Safety Management Across Ohio
Based in Kent, we serve as an outsourced safety director for companies in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, and Akron, and across the state, with both on-site visits and remote support. See all of our workplace safety services.
How much time does an outsourced safety director spend with us?
As much as your company needs. Some clients need a monthly site visit and records management. Others need weekly involvement during busy seasons. We build a plan around your size, hazards, and goals.
Can a part-time safety manager really keep us OSHA compliant?
Yes, when backed by the right systems. We combine scheduled on-site work with written programs, online training, and digital records, so compliance doesn’t depend on one person being on site every day.
Will you be our safety contact for clients?
Yes. We can act as your designated safety contact for client questions, prequalification platforms, and safety meetings.
