What Circle Safety & Health Consultant does

Circle Safety & Health Consultants, LLC is a Richmond, Virginia-based professional services firm founded in 1995 that delivers occupational safety and health training, auditing, industrial hygiene, safety staffing, and custom safety-manual products to construction, general-industry/manufacturing, government, surface-mining, data-center, food-processing, and power/energy clients across Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C. The firm is led by Managing Director Anna Jolly (JD, CHMM) and Business Director Bob Thompson, with a senior industrial-hygiene bench anchored by Amy Daniell (CIH, 30+ years of experience), and is certified as a Woman-Owned Small Business and a Commonwealth of Virginia Micro-Business.

The core service portfolio comprises OSHA-authorized 10- and 30-hour Outreach Training, MSHA Part 46 mining training, Competent Person and CPR/First Aid/AED instruction (ASHI-authorized), construction and general-industry safety manuals priced at $250 per customized chapter, third-party compliance audits with photo-documented corrective-action recommendations, Certified Industrial Hygienist-led exposure monitoring (noise, silica, welding fumes, air quality), and a safety-staffing line that places Site Safety & Health Officers, Site Safety Officers, and Safety Managers on construction, industrial, and federal-project job sites. The firm also distributes a proprietary Deal With It!® safety-culture training program (registered trademark), NFPA 70E arc-flash training, and self-paced online courses through a third-party platform (BISTrainer). Delivery is split between on-site at client locations, the company's Richmond training facility at 2810 N. Parham Road, and the online channel.

Commercially, Circle Safety operates as a privately held, owner-operated consultancy with no external funding rounds disclosed, an enterprise-field-sales go-to-market driven by direct phone/email outreach and the company website, and pricing that is predominantly quote-based for training, audits, staffing, and program management, with the only publicly listed unit pricing being $250 per safety-manual chapter. The customer base includes recognizable names such as Honeywell, Capital One, Kaiser Aluminum, AdvanSix, Hillphoenix, Taylor & Parrish, Monument Construction, Wagman Heavy Civil, Kyanite Mining, and several Virginia municipal and Department of Corrections accounts, indicating that despite a sub-10-person internal team the firm competes for enterprise and government engagements in the Mid-Atlantic region.
