A Safety Partnership Program Tailored to Your Business

The Safety Partnership Program (SPP) for General Industry is shaped around where your business stands today and where you want to take your safety culture. We build the program around your operations, your industry, and your goals.

Support is structured around the number of site visits. Some businesses need only an occasional on-site presence to get a safety program established, while others benefit from frequent, hands-on involvement as their needs evolve. You help dictate the cadence, and we adjust the frequency and focus of those visits as your priorities shift.

Once we settle on a visit schedule, we work directly with you to determine how each visit is best used. That might include:

  • On-site gap assessments to identify hazards and compliance gaps
  • Development of foundational policies like HazCom and PPE
  • Development of advanced policies like LOTO and confined space
  • Custom safety training and proactive risk management
  • Safety committee facilitation and performance tracking
  • Leadership engagement, culture development, and continuous improvement
  • Detailed audits, scenario-based drills, and data-driven insights

Wherever you are in building your safety culture, we meet you there and scale the partnership alongside your business.

Industries We Serve in General Industry

Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences

Regulated production demands precision. SPP builds occupational safety programs, runs hazard assessment, and prepares teams for OSHA and FDA-adjacent audits.

Manufacturing

Manufacturing covers a lot of ground, from automotive and food and beverage to industrial and general production. Plants need consistent oversight without a full-time hire. SPP delivers effective training, written safety policies, and facility safety inspections that strengthen safety culture across any production environment.

Utilities and Energy Operations

Transmission, distribution, and generation demand specialized expertise. SPP provides credentialed safety professional advisors, including CUSP-credentialed support for high-voltage crews.

Data Center Developers and Operators

Builds run fast and the certification bar runs high. SPP provides on-site safety consultant support, contractor pre-qualification, and safety training for every worker.

Electrical Contractors

Arc flash, lockout/tagout, and confined space work leave no room for error. SPP delivers specialized safety consulting services and site audits built around the right safety regulations.

Emerging and Niche Industries

Airports, cannabis growers, and specialty industries face high OSHA exposure with limited support. SPP scales to fill that gap with tailored safety services and a stronger safety program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is compliance safety consulting?

Compliance safety consulting helps employers meet OSHA and other regulatory body requirements through expert guidance, risk assessment, written programs, and ongoing oversight. SMG provides this support on a fractional basis through the Safety Partner Program.

How does SPP support general industry operations?

SPP gives general industry clients access to fractional safety consultants who deliver hazard assessment, written policy development, safety training, and ongoing oversight. Support scales from a one-time gap assessment to monthly leadership engagement.

How is SPP for General Industry different from the C-SPP?

SPP for General Industry and the Construction Safety Partner Program (C-SPP) are both part of SMG’s Safety Partner Program, but each is built around a different operating environment. SPP for General Industry supports fixed-location operations like manufacturing plants, data centers, and pharmaceutical facilities where written programs and ongoing risk management matter most. C-SPP focuses on jobsite-level oversight, contractor coordination, and the fast-moving demands of active construction sites.

Can SPP help prepare my business for an OSHA inspection?

Yes. Your safety advisor supports documentation reviews, walk-through assessments, and corrective action planning. SPP helps clients prepare for an OSHA inspection before it happens and respond if a citation is issued. You can read more about how OSHA enforces its standards for added context.

What kind of training does SPP include?

Depending on the partnership level, SPP can include training templates, custom training programs, safety training delivery, leadership development, and scenario-based drills tailored to your operation.
