What BAOS does

BAOS (Big Apple Occupational Safety Corporation) is a private, New York–based environmental safety training and consulting firm founded in 1993. The company delivers regulated certification courses in asbestos, EPA lead-based paint / RRP, OSHA 10/30-hour, NYC DOB Site Safety Manager and SST Local Law 196, FDNY Construction Site Fire Safety Manager, mold assessment/remediation, HAZWOPER, DOT hazardous materials, confined space entry, NYS DEC erosion & sediment control, PCB, and hazardous waste coordination. Courses are offered in three formats: in-person classroom at the Mid-Town Manhattan headquarters (505 Eighth Avenue, Suite 2305) and Jersey City office, live instructor-led Zoom webinars with webcam identity verification, and self-paced online on-demand via partner platform Clicksafety. BAOS also operates a parallel consulting practice spanning asbestos assessment and abatement monitoring, lead-paint consulting (XRF, dust wipes, clearance), mold inspection/remediation, environmental management, and occupational safety/health consulting.

The business operates on a course-fee revenue model: individual registration with a 50% deposit, materials and certificate of completion included, and group discounts of 5% (3+ registrants) and 10% (10+ registrants). A secondary consulting revenue stream is generated from professional services engagements. The underlying technology is a standard training management system for scheduling, registration, and certification tracking, with online delivery outsourced to Clicksafety; no proprietary AI/ML or platform IP was disclosed.

BAOS's customer base spans federal agencies (Department of the Army, Navy, and Air Force), NYS authorities (Dormitory Authority, Power Authority, Port Authority of NY & NJ), NYC agencies (School Construction Authority, Fire Department, Police Department, Housing Authority), utilities (Con Edison), universities (NYU, Long Island University, Rockefeller University), and industrial clients (TRC Consulting, WSP). Its GTM is direct-to-consumer/enterprise: website catalog, toll-free phone sales, email newsletter, and SEO, with sales motion organized vertically around construction, building owners/managers, government, and industrial/commercial segments.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Haley & Aldrich: Northeast-focused engineering and environmental consulting firm with asbestos, lead, mold, and EHS capabilities. Comparable as a broader incumbent operating in the same regional environmental safety and consulting market.
• ATC Group Services (now part of Atlas): National asbestos, lead, mold, and industrial hygiene consulting and training provider serving government, commercial, and institutional clients. Comparable as a broader incumbent that competes with BAOS's combined asbestos/lead/mold consulting and training offering.
• TRC Companies: Large national engineering, environmental, and safety consulting firm offering training and consulting across asbestos, lead, OSHA, and EHS topics. Comparable as a broader incumbent that competes for the same government and enterprise environmental-safety training and consulting engagements BAOS serves.
• WSP USA: Global professional services firm with a substantial environment, health, and safety practice delivering training and consulting to government, utility, and real estate clients. Comparable as a large incumbent pursuing the same institutional training contracts BAOS already counts among its customers.

Direct peers

• Hazmat Student / OSHA.com (Safety Unlimited): OSHA-authorized online outreach training provider covering OSHA 10/30, HAZWOPER, and environmental safety. Comparable as a direct competitor in the same online OSHA/HAZWOPER category BAOS serves.
• EH&E (Environmental Health & Engineering): Northeast-based environmental, industrial hygiene, and building consulting firm that also delivers training in asbestos, lead, mold, and OSHA-related topics. Directly comparable because it mirrors BAOS's combined consulting + training model serving the same regional property-owner, institutional, and government clients.
• CareerSafe: OSHA Outreach Training provider offering 10- and 30-hour construction and general industry courses. Directly comparable because it competes head-to-head for the same online OSHA certification market that BAOS accesses through its Clicksafety partnership.
• 360training.com: Large online regulatory-compliance training platform offering OSHA, HAZWOPER, environmental, and safety courses to individuals and enterprises. Directly comparable because it competes for the same OSHA 10/30 and environmental certification dollars, particularly via the same on-demand online channel BAOS uses through Clicksafety.
• ClickSafety: Online safety training provider owned by Ascend Learning that delivers OSHA 10/30, environmental, and construction courses. Directly comparable because it is both BAOS's online delivery partner and an independent competitor pursuing the same construction and general-industry certification buyers.

Emerging players

• National Association of Safety Professionals (NASP): Provider of online safety certifications and occupational safety training across construction, general industry, and environmental topics. Comparable as a digitally native training competitor pursuing the same self-paced buyer, though with a broader non-construction focus.
