SafeBuild Alliance

What SafeBuild Alliance does

SafeBuild Alliance is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit membership organization founded around 2006 and headquartered in Aumsville, Oregon, that focuses on elevating safety culture in the Pacific Northwest construction industry. It serves owners, general contractors, specialty contractors, and industry partners across Oregon and Washington, with named member companies including Skanska USA Building, Hoffman Construction, JE Dunn Construction, Andersen Construction, P&C Construction, EC Electric, ATG Construction Services, Cochran, Rosendin, OEG, and Charter Mechanical. Following a full organizational relaunch in December 2025, the organization restructured around three peer cohorts (Visionaries for executives, Field Leaders for superintendents and foremen, and Safety Professionals) and expanded its geographic footprint to include a parallel SafeBuild Alliance of Washington entity under shared executive leadership.

The core product is the membership program, with four annual tiers: ICON ($2,000), Ambassador ($1,250), Small Biz ($750, restricted to Oregon/Washington MBE/WBE-certified firms), and Patron ($1,500). Members receive company-wide access, the registered SafeBuild Mark of Trust certification for use on websites and job sites, branded assets such as site banners and hard hat stickers, cohort participation, and entry to signature events. The technology stack is built on the Wild Apricot/Personify membership management platform, with iOS and Android mobile apps for event registration, renewals, push notifications, and member directory access, supplemented by a Member Hub, Member Chat Forum, Constant Contact email newsletters, and Google Analytics. A separate 501(c)(3) entity, the SafeBuild Alliance Foundation, provides grants to Oregon community safety initiatives.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual membership dues, event sponsorships (including $500 Affiliate sponsorships plus Elite and Title tiers for the Safety Week Kickoff), the 11th Annual Golf Tournament scheduled for August 11, 2026 at Langdon Farms Golf Course, and Foundation grants. Distribution is digital-first via the safebuildalliance.com website and Wild Apricot self-serve sign-up, supplemented by in-person events at venues such as the Oregon Zoo and Kaiser Sunnyside, and direct phone/email support. Leadership is governance-led: Jason Oliver serves as Executive Director across Oregon and Washington, Caren Seal as President, and an industry working board drawn from member companies.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• SafetySkills: SafetySkills is an online safety training provider offering construction-specific OSHA and compliance courses to contractors. It competes with SafeBuild's safety training mission through a digital, scalable format rather than a peer-community/membership model.

Direct peers

• Associated Builders and Contractors: ABC is a national trade association representing merit-shop contractors across all construction trades, with chapter-based membership and a strong safety, training, and apprenticeship programming portfolio. SafeBuild Alliance mirrors ABC's chapter-membership model and safety-program focus at a regional scale in the Pacific NW.
• American Society of Safety Professionals: ASSP is a global member association for occupational safety professionals, providing certifications, standards, training, and a peer community. SafeBuild's Safety Professionals cohort and focus on cultural safety directly parallels ASSP's professional development and community offering for the same audience.
• Associated General Contractors of America: AGC is the largest national trade association for the commercial construction industry, offering membership, advocacy, education, and safety programming to general contractors and specialty trades. SafeBuild Alliance operates as a regional chapter-like peer serving many of the same customer types with overlapping safety culture and workforce development programs.
• American Subcontractors Association: ASA is a national trade association focused on representing specialty trade contractors in the construction industry, including advocacy, education, and member business resources. SafeBuild's specialty contractor members (electrical, mechanical, etc.) sit in ASA's core constituency, making it a comparable trade association model.

Broad incumbents

• National Safety Council: NSC is a long-established broad safety organization providing advocacy, training, and resources across multiple industries including construction. It overlaps with SafeBuild on safety culture advocacy but operates at national scale across many sectors rather than specializing in construction.
• National Association of Home Builders: NAHB is a national trade association representing residential construction firms, builders, and remodelers with state and local chapters providing safety education and member services. It is comparable to SafeBuild as a construction-industry membership association, though broader in scope and residential-focused.

Regional players

• Construction Safety Council: Construction Safety Council is a nonprofit safety training and education provider serving the construction industry, headquartered in the Chicago area. It is comparable to SafeBuild as a construction-focused safety nonprofit offering training, events, and member services, but operates primarily in the Midwest rather than the Pacific NW.
• AGC Oregon-Columbia Chapter: AGC Oregon-Columbia is the Oregon/Washington chapter of AGC of America, offering regional construction industry advocacy, safety training, and member services. As a geographic peer in the Pacific NW with overlapping membership rosters, it is the most direct regional competitor to SafeBuild Alliance.

Others

• CPWR – The Center for Construction Research and Training: CPWR is a nonprofit research and training organization focused exclusively on construction safety and health, funded by NIOSH. While not a membership association like SafeBuild, it operates in the same construction safety culture ecosystem and is a potential content, training, or research partner.
