RMS Safety

What RMS Safety does

RMS Safety is a privately-held, Indianapolis-based professional services firm founded in 1998 that provides health, safety, and environmental consulting to clients across the United States. The company organizes its offering into three core service lines: Long Term Support (part-time or full-time Safety Director services and supplemental staffing for in-house safety departments), Project Staffing (teams of experienced safety professionals deployed to construction projects nationwide, including assignments of 8-10+ professionals on large capital projects), and Independent Services (scheduled and customized safety training, written policies and site-specific safety plans, audits and inspections, OSHA legal defense and expert witness representation, and professional recruiting of safety staff). Its competitive premise rests on staff quality — safety professionals averaging 16+ years of experience, including former OSHA personnel and certified specialists — combined with a coaching-and-mentoring posture differentiated from enforcement-oriented competitors.

The firm's underlying technology is intentionally minimal: it is a services business whose 'product' is human expertise delivered onsite at client facilities and construction projects, augmented by a hands-on training facility at its Indianapolis headquarters and unspecified data tracking for project analytics. There is no proprietary software platform, AI/ML capability, or patent portfolio evidenced. Revenue is generated through professional services fees billed for the time and expertise of deployed safety professionals, with engagement structures ranging from part-time and project-based to multi-year contractual relationships; pricing is per-engagement and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, combining direct outreach, industry event participation (Indiana Safety & Health Conference, ASSP, Indiana Subcontractors Association, ICR), referral networks, and a content-rich blog with 70+ pages sustaining top-of-funnel awareness. Customer segments span enterprise construction firms, general contractors, utilities, healthcare systems, advanced manufacturing, and government agencies, with marquee engagements including the Panasonic/Marubeni EV battery plant in Kansas, the Buffalo Bills stadium, the $4.3 billion IU Health hospital, GM plant renovations, and long-running utility engagements with IPL and Citizens Energy Group.
