Access Safety

What Access Safety does

Access Safety, LLC is an occupational safety and health consulting firm founded in 2004 by Jeff Mather, CSP, and headquartered in Cedar Springs, Michigan. The firm delivers professional services across three primary verticals — Manufacturing, Construction, and Municipal — including risk analysis, OSHA gap analysis using a green/yellow/red scoring matrix, performance scorecards, air sampling with AIHA-accredited laboratory analysis, noise monitoring with OSHA-compliant dosimeter reporting, and safety training. Its primary geographic footprint is West Michigan with the greater Grand Rapids area, regular travel throughout Michigan and surrounding Midwest states, and availability for special projects anywhere in the United States.

The company's product portfolio combines consulting engagements with two proprietary web-based platforms. Action Log is a web-based project and action-item management application for tracking safety inspections, incidents, corrective actions, and multimedia documentation, with sorting, filtering, and trend-identification capabilities. Access (M)SDS is an online Safety Data Sheet management system that supports chemical inventory, search, and the automated generation of OSHA-required documentation such as chemical indexes, "New or Revised SDS" posters, and chemical archives. Both platforms are hosted on commodity infrastructure (Heroku and accesssds.com, respectively) and are positioned as compliance-enablement tools rather than analytics products.

Access Safety operates a sales-led, quote-based business model with revenue drawn from project-based professional services and software subscriptions tied to its two web platforms. The firm is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped, with no disclosed institutional funding. Marketing is largely organic — articles authored by Jeff Mather, a Resources section linking to regulatory bodies (OSHA, MIOSHA, NIOSH), and active participation in the American Society of Safety Engineers and American Industrial Hygiene Association — with no paid acquisition channels identified.

Emerging players

• VelocityEHS: Software-led EHS platform offering incident management, SDS/chemical management, audits, and training modules that directly overlap with Access Safety's Action Log and Access (M)SDS offerings. Represents the SaaS competitive threat to consulting-plus-software hybrids like Access Safety.
• SafetyCulture: Mobile-first safety inspection platform (iAuditor) used for inspections, issue reporting, and training across manufacturing and construction. Competes with Access Safety's Action Log on inspection workflows and represents a faster-scaling digital alternative to consulting-led safety programs.
• BIS Safety Software: Provider of EHS software including SDS management, training, and incident tracking modules. Overlaps directly with Access Safety's Access (M)SDS platform and broader safety program offering.
• KPA: EHS and compliance management software and services provider focused on automotive, construction, and manufacturing dealers/contractors. Comparable target verticals and overlap with Access Safety's consulting-plus-software model.

Direct peers

• Safety Management Group: Mid-market EHS consulting firm providing safety staffing, audits, training, and industrial hygiene services to manufacturers and contractors. Highly comparable in service mix and target customer to Access Safety, though operating at larger scale with multi-site coverage.
• Safety Sync: Mid-sized safety compliance and training provider focused on OSHA-aligned safety programs for small and mid-sized businesses. Comparable in offering workplace safety training, written program development, and SDS-related services.

Broad incumbents

• AECOM EHS Consulting: Major engineering and EHS consulting arm of AECOM serving industrial clients with safety, health, and environmental compliance services. Comparable service mix but with global scale and brand that mid-market manufacturers may favor for enterprise accounts.
• Antea Group: Global EHS consulting firm offering safety, industrial hygiene, environmental, and sustainability services across multiple industries. Larger scale, broader geographic reach, and deeper service bench, but overlapping service categories with Access Safety.
