Safety LMS

What Safety LMS does

Safety LMS is a US-based, privately held compliance training company specializing in tower, telecom, construction, and wind-energy safety certifications. It operates an online Learning Management System that delivers on-demand courses in English, Spanish, and Russian alongside a network of seven owned and partner training academies across Atlanta, Aurora (CO), Corona (CA), Coppell (TX), Pinckney (MI), Salt Lake City, and Columbia (MO), with on-site enterprise delivery at customer facilities. The platform issues and verifies certificates against OSHA, ANSI/ASSP A10.48, NATE CTS, and Canadian Safety Code 6 standards, and includes a Company Certification Management Portal that tracks expiring credentials and assigns required courses for Train the Trainer customers. Its sister company Comtrain, with which it shares curriculum and facilities, and a 2024 Pathwave integration extend its reach across training management and certification delivery.

The company monetizes through five streams: individual online course purchases ($40–$189), in-person training ($999–$3,999 per seat), volume-discounted group packages, Train the Trainer certification for in-house instructors, and professional services such as site safety audits and customized safety plan development. OSHA Outreach courses (10- and 30-hour) are delivered in partnership with ClickSafety, while Spanish and Russian variants broaden the addressable bilingual workforce. Distribution is omnichannel: a self-serve e-commerce site, a phone-based enterprise sales motion (512-710-5000), email marketing, scheduled open-enrollment courses across 30+ partner sites, and on-site customer training.

The leadership team is led by President Shayne Campbell (NATE Board member, cross-leads Comtrain) with VP of Training Benjamin Bowman and a bench of senior instructors whose backgrounds include founding-partner tower service firms, NWSA subject-matter expertise, and authorship of the ANSI/ASSE A10.48 criteria. The company competes on regulatory involvement, instructor credibility, and physical training-center footprint rather than technology differentiation, positioning itself as North America's #1 source for tower and wind safety training.
