The Safety Guide

What The Safety Guide does

The Safety Guide is a privately-held, for-profit distributor of personal protection equipment (PPE) founded in 2020 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. Per the company's own short description, it serves three end markets: schools, salons, and restaurants. The company operates with 51-100 employees, and James Bremner is listed as President — the only named member of the leadership team in the available data.

The company's core product line is protective equipment (e.g., masks, gloves, and related supplies) targeted at non-healthcare institutional and small-business buyers. No underlying technology, proprietary platform, or differentiation is described in the source material. The company's website (thesafetyguide.com) currently displays only an OVHcloud "Site en construction" placeholder page, indicating no live digital storefront or product catalog is available publicly.

The business model is not disclosed. No pricing model, revenue mechanics, distribution channels, customer list, or funding history is available in the source data. The company is unprofitable disclosures are not available, and no ownership, investor, or parent-company structure is described. The only authoritative fact is the company's own website being under construction, which limits due diligence visibility but does not by itself indicate the operating company is inactive.
