Safety By Design

What Safety By Design does

Safety By Design, legally LMN Safety Solutions, Inc dba Safety by Design, Inc., is a Houston, Texas-based full-service third-party safety consulting firm founded in 2009 that provides OSHA compliance training, safety program consulting, and qualified safety/medical personnel staffing to industrial and construction clients. The firm serves a diversified vertical mix with construction, manufacturing, and oil and gas as primary end markets, alongside warehousing, contractors/subcontractors, and utilities/energy as secondary segments. Service delivery is human-led and bilingual (English/Spanish), spanning group and individual OSHA 10/30, First Aid/CPR/AED, HAZWOPER, fall protection, ergonomics, and specialized training delivered both on-site and virtually; safety consulting (program development, compliance, risk assessments, annual reviews, administrative support) on project or retainer basis; and staffing of project safety coordinators and EMT/paramedic/medic personnel. Safety By Design also offers Safety Inspection Services for fall protection equipment, ladders, and rigging gear, as well as ISNetworld compliance support including RAVS documentation and MSQ questionnaire completion.

The firm's core technology asset is the proprietary SafeTeam Web Application, a cloud-based safety management platform accessible from phone and tablet that enables incident tracking, inspection management, safety training tracking, employee attendance monitoring, and project man-hours measurement, with customization options. SafeTeam is offered via a 60-day free trial, introducing a product-led growth motion alongside the traditional enterprise field sales motion (discovery call → proposal → engagement). The business model is a blended consulting-and-software model: professional services (training, consulting, staffing, inspections, ISNetworld support) on a quote-based, primarily project or retainer basis, complemented by a recurring subscription revenue stream from SafeTeam. The firm is privately held and independently owned, with no disclosed external investors, parent company, funding rounds, mergers, acquisitions, or public listing; Lee Hart serves as President and primary decision-maker. Customer logos are not disclosed, pricing is not publicly listed, and the company's stated operating geography is concentrated in Houston, Texas, while its SEO-driven content marketing targets OSHA compliance search demand nationally.

Broad incumbents

• Avetta: Avetta is a leading contractor prequalification and compliance management platform connecting clients with vetted contractors. It overlaps with Safety By Design's ISNetworld support services and contractor compliance offerings, though Avetta is software-led and broader in scope.
• Bureau Veritas: Bureau Veritas is a global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) firm offering safety inspections, equipment certification, and EHS compliance services across construction and industrial sectors. It competes with Safety By Design's safety inspection and consulting services at a much larger scale.
• ISN (ISNetworld): ISN operates ISNetworld, the dominant contractor management and prequalification platform used by major oil & gas, construction, and industrial operators. Safety By Design explicitly offers ISNetworld support/RAVS documentation services, making ISN both a customer-enabling platform and a broad incumbent in the contractor compliance space.
• DEKRA: DEKRA is a global safety consulting, inspection, and certification organization serving automotive, industrial, and construction clients. It competes with Safety By Design's fall protection inspections, OSHA-style audits, and training services but operates at significantly larger scale across multiple geographies.

Direct peers

• KPA (KPA Flex): KPA provides EHS compliance software and consulting services including training, inspections, and OSHA compliance programs for construction, manufacturing, and dealership clients. It directly competes with both Safety By Design's consulting/inspection services and SafeTeam's compliance tracking capabilities.
• SafetyCulture: SafetyCulture (iAuditor) is the leading mobile-first safety inspection and training platform serving construction, manufacturing, and industrial clients globally. It directly competes with Safety By Design's SafeTeam app on incident tracking, inspections, and training compliance, while also offering a marketplace that competes with the firm's consulting services.
• EHS Insight: EHS Insight offers a cloud-based EHS management platform with incident tracking, inspections, training, and compliance modules for industrial and construction clients. It is a direct competitor to SafeTeam on the SaaS layer and overlaps with Safety By Design's compliance consulting practice.
• Vector Solutions: Vector Solutions provides online OSHA-compliance training, safety courses, and workforce compliance software to construction, industrial, and public-sector employers. It competes with Safety By Design's OSHA 10/30, HAZWOPER, and First Aid training offerings as well as its SafeTeam training tracking functionality.

Emerging players

• Safesite: Safesite is an emerging safety management platform offering inspections, training, and observations for construction and general industry clients. It overlaps with SafeTeam's core functionality on a free-tier model, creating pricing pressure for Safety By Design's SaaS subscription.

Regional players

• SafelyMade (or regional Texas safety consulting peers): Regional Texas-based safety consulting firms (e.g., Texas Safety Network, regional OSHA training providers) compete directly with Safety By Design in Houston and surrounding Gulf Coast markets for the same construction, manufacturing, and oil & gas clients via localized relationships and on-site delivery.
