What CrossSafety does

CrossSafety is a Canadian-headquartered health, safety, and environment (HSE) services firm that delivers integrated consulting, on-site safety staffing, and accredited training to enterprise and government clients across North America. The company was formed in 2023 through the union of two predecessor firms — Resource Environmental Associates (founded 1991) and Thompson Roach & Hughes Consulting (founded 1992) — bringing together roughly 150+ specialists including occupational hygienists, engineers, construction safety professionals, and trainers.

Its services are organized into three lines: HSE Management & Safety Staffing Solutions (on-site program support and personnel placement), Specialized HSE Consulting (audits, engineering, compliance, occupational hygiene, risk management, litigation support), and Workplace Safety Training & Learning Programs delivered under the SkillsCross sub-brand with more than 1,700 online courses and a public enrollment channel. CrossSafety also produces the proprietary BlueBook™ regulatory reference guides (annual Ontario edition plus a bilingual Federal edition) that meet statutory on-site OH&S Act documentation requirements for Ontario and Canada Labour Code Part II for federally regulated workplaces.

The company monetizes through quote-based professional services engagements, multi-year enterprise and government contracts, per-enrollment training pricing, and direct e-commerce sales of BlueBook™ publications. Its customer base spans construction, industrial/manufacturing (Ford, Toyota, GM, Bombardier, ArcelorMittal), healthcare (UHN, CAMH, Sinai Health), utilities (OPG, Bruce Power, Hydro One), government (Government of Ontario/Alberta, Canadian Armed Forces, Transport Canada, City of Toronto/Ottawa), retail (Canadian Tire, Walmart Canada), and infrastructure (Metrolinx, AECOM, Stantec, Jacobs). The firm operates from offices in Markham (HQ), Toronto, Ottawa, Windsor, Concord, and Lexington, Kentucky. In June 2026, CrossSafety was acquired by Safety Management Group with backing from Gryphon Investors, creating a combined North American platform of more than 500 EHS professionals; CrossSafety continues to operate under its brand in Canada under CEO John Murphy and the existing Canadian leadership team.

Broad incumbents

• Stantec: Global engineering, consulting, and environmental services firm with HSE and occupational health capabilities across infrastructure, water, and energy. Direct incumbent competitor on enterprise HSE engagements and also a CrossSafety customer.
• ERM (Environmental Resources Management): World's largest pure-play environmental, health, safety, and sustainability consultancy. Comparable to CrossSafety on HSE compliance, audit, and risk management for enterprise and government clients, with significantly broader geographic and capability reach.
• Tetra Tech: Global consulting and engineering firm with a leading environmental, health, and safety practice serving government, industrial, and infrastructure clients worldwide — overlapping with CrossSafety's regulatory-driven consulting work at a much larger scale.
• WSP Global: Global professional services firm (acquired Golder Associates in 2021) with a major environmental and occupational health practice. Competes with CrossSafety on enterprise HSE consulting and engineering mandates and is significantly larger and more diversified.

Both deliver CPO-approved working-at-heights and JHSC certification training to Ontario workforces.
