CORE Safety Group

My experience with CORE Safety Group has provided a valuable opportunity to apply and expand my expertise in Risk Management and Occupational Safety and Health across a wide range of industries and project environments. In my role as a Safety Manager, I have supported multiple client organizations by conducting safety inspections, facilitating training, assisting with incident investigations, and evaluating safety management systems to identify opportunities for improvement.

A significant portion of my work has involved partnering with client leadership and project teams to strengthen their safety culture (one of the most rewarding aspects of the role in my opinion) while ensuring alignment with OSHA regulations, industry best practices, and company-specific safety requirements. Building strong working relationships with clients is essential to success in this role. It is important that teams understand we are there as a resource, not a hindrance, and that safety can be communicated in a way that supports their operations rather than feeling like enforcement with a clipboard. The goal is to act as a positive change agent who helps influence and improve the organization’s safety culture.

Working with CORE has also required strong communication, time management, and relationship-building skills, as many engagements involve coordinating directly with safety directors, project managers, and field personnel to address safety concerns while supporting operational goals. Managing multiple client accounts has further strengthened my organizational and project management abilities and provided valuable insight into how effective leadership, oversight, and engagement contribute to stronger safety programs.

Overall, my experience with CORE Safety Group has allowed me to make meaningful contributions to client safety programs while continuing to grow professionally in regulatory compliance, risk management, and safety leadership. CORE has been the best organization I have worked for and has allowed me to truly flourish as a safety professional.

I have been with CORE Safety Group for nearly a year, and I can genuinely say it has been one of the most valuable professional experiences of my career.

Having spent many years in both commercial and residential construction, as well as occupational safety and health, I came into CORE with a strong foundation of industry knowledge. However, working with this organization has allowed me to expand my expertise even further, particularly in the area of General Industry safety and risk management. The depth of knowledge, professionalism, and support within this company is truly impressive.

CORE Safety Group is built on a strong culture of occupational safety, health, and expert-level risk management. The leadership team, Safety Managers, and Directors consistently demonstrate a commitment to excellence, continuous improvement, and helping their employees grow professionally. I have gained valuable skills, knowledge, and practical experience that have strengthened my ability to serve clients and protect workers across a variety of industries.

What I appreciate most is the collaborative and professional environment. I feel confident knowing I am surrounded by experienced safety professionals who are always willing to share knowledge and support one another. The company genuinely invests in its people and provides opportunities for growth and development.

I am proud to be part of CORE Safety Group and look forward to continuing my professional journey with the organization. For anyone seeking a company that values safety, professionalism, expertise, and employee development, I highly recommend CORE Safety Group.

Sometimes you work in a place where you see genuine care for dependable employees who work hard and are flexible. This is that place. When you need help, management offers solutions and even training. In addition, they have discount and compensation programs for your educational advancement, CEUs, and picking up BCSP dues in certain cases. 

However, the medical insurance they offer is garbage at best. No life insurance options. No ownership options. No clear, direct advancement options. 

BUT, again, to their credit, the educational/training benefits are great, and the support is always there by EVERY member of staff--when you are employed on a contract. One can easily feel forgotten during the "in-between's," though. 

There is no real attempt to include the advisor/consultant in negotiations with clients (even when lodging costs vs. per diem vs. cost of living are discussed). Not all of us want to live in a hotel in every circumstance; maybe one would like to find their own AirB&B or similar for long-term projects. The client could better budget the project money considering the advisor's flexibility or alternative options. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
If working nonstop is what you want and have no life. Then this would be the company.  Great over time and pay based on contracts. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unable to get time approved to refill/renew prescription. Favoritism for one employee to the next.  Working with employees that were hired on with less/no qualifications compared to another employees. And those same employees not being held accountable for lack of job performance and duties. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast pace, 120hr a week work schedules and the gossip was absurd. Upper management didn't take the time to investigate. They just took the word of one employee from another.  Only because it was the client and they would rather terminate an employee than lose a clients business. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Jobsite was huge and running circles around 3 other employees that were suppedly your team.  Although,  they contributed nothing and received their paychecks every week.

The work load can be a little overwhelming when you start, but after a few months, you learn how to manage it effectively. After working alone or with minimum staff for years, it's nice to be a part of a large team with support across the United States. The team gives me the flexibility I need to have a work/home life balance as long as I get my billable hours done every week. Every year I can expand my skill set through ongoing education which is paid for by the company, so I can add to my certifications and knowledge base to better serve my clients. With the support structure at CORE Safety and all of the resources given to me to serve my clients, I have a hard time picturing myself working anywhere else as a safety professional. If you put the work in here, people notice, and you get rewarded - which you cannot say about most jobs in the Construction safety industry. 

I was hired by Core Safety Group through a phone interview and online application. I didn't actually meet any employees of the company for over a year in person but any questions I had were answered quickly through a call or email. I was a contract safety advisor sent to assist companies who needed a temporary site safety manager for the current project. I enjoyed helping the contractors finding a better, safer way to do certain things while still staying on schedule for project completion. It helps to be a people person because there is always a few that like to do things "the old way" but most come around eventually if you work with them and they see that you care about them and making sure they go home the same way they showed up.

I have been working for CORE just over 2 years and can say it is one of the outliers when it comes to consultant companies. Before joining on with CORE, I spent four years working for a general contractor, where I was just another number to an existing system. Since I began working at CORE, I have grown exponentially as a safety professional and have learned to challenge myself in different ways to achieve my career goals. CORE values individual creativity and challenges employees to 'think outside the box' to deliver quality products to their customers. I feel my efforts are valued here at CORE and that is what invigorates me challenge myself every day. 

CORE Safety Group made me feel welcome from day 1.  Their goal is to ensure success for their employees and give them opportunities to improve and sharpen their skills.  Management has great insight into the business and job climate that has allowed them to remain stable and grow despite current and future business climate.  I most enjoy being able to interact with all levels of the company and feel as a valued person.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The attention given to workers needs I would say is the best part.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The customers ask for unrealistic things from the workers.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The environment is close knit which creates a feeling of family culture .

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It’s pleasant for the most part. When one of the account managers comes to see you, you don’t get scared of what you may did but a feeling like a cousin that you haven’t seen coming to check on you.

CORE Safety Group has great opportunities for employees who are dedicated and committed. CORE leadership strives to keep employees for the long-haul and have a place for them when their project comes to a close. The leadership has foresight to create stability within the company to weather the storms in the business world and keep employees employed. They could hire all 1099 employees but they choose to hire directly and offer benefits and retain workers as their own to create as close-knit a group as is possible for the staffing aspect of the company.
