Safirst

What Safirst does

Safirst is a Phoenix, Arizona–based construction safety consulting firm (legally Safirst Corporation, also operating as 'Safirst Safety Consulting' and 'Phoenix Safety Consultant') founded in 2001. The firm delivers OSHA-compliant risk assessments, safety audits, safety plan development, and a broad training catalog to construction companies in the Phoenix metro area. Its training portfolio includes OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour authorized courses (English/Spanish), specialized construction modules (fall protection, scaffolding, forklift, confined space, lock-out/tag-out, trench and excavation, respiratory protection, heat illness, heavy equipment), CPR/AED/first aid with two-year certification, and fire protection services (extinguisher sales from 2.5 lb to 20 lb plus Class K units, NFPA-compliant installation, monthly/annual inspections, recharging, fire risk assessments, and recertification). The firm also distributes downloadable OSHA 300/300A/301 logs, JHA daily logs, hot work permits, crane plans, accident reports, and bilingual safety & orientation materials. There is no proprietary software platform; service delivery is conducted on-site at client construction projects or at Safirst facilities.

The business operates as a professional services firm. Revenue is generated through scope-based, custom-quoted consulting and training engagements, structured around multi-year partnership contracts that emphasize recurring site inspections and ongoing safety oversight. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Phoenix-area general contractors, sub-contractors, and project managers, with inbound demand captured via phone ((602) 373-0393), the safirst.com website (free quote and callback forms), and a LinkedIn/YouTube/Instagram/blog presence. The customer base is exclusively within the construction vertical in Arizona, with deep regulatory expertise across federal (OSHA), state (ADOSH), and City of Phoenix layers positioned as the primary differentiator. The firm has 11–50 employees, no disclosed funding, no app or API, and no AI/ML capabilities referenced in available materials.

Broad incumbents

• VelocityEHS: Major EHS software and services platform offering safety training, incident management, and compliance tools — overlaps with Safirst's safety training and audit capabilities, but delivered largely via SaaS rather than on-site consulting.
• ISN (ISNetworld): Contractor management and compliance network serving owner-clients and contractors globally — competes with Safirst indirectly by digitizing the safety qualification and training compliance process that Safirst performs manually.
• Avetta: Contractor management and compliance platform used by large owner-clients to qualify and monitor construction contractors — competes in the contractor-compliance space but at the network/platform layer rather than as a local on-site consultant.
• J.J. Keller & Associates: Large, established provider of regulatory compliance products and services including safety training and consulting — competes with Safirst in OSHA training and compliance content but serves a national footprint across many industries.

Direct peers

• Compliance Management International (CMI): Construction safety and environmental compliance firm offering consulting, training, and on-site safety staffing — directly comparable to Safirst's core consulting-plus-training offering.
• Safety Services Company: Regional safety consulting and OSHA training provider serving contractors and industrial clients — overlaps with Safirst on OSHA training, audits, and ongoing site safety oversight.
• Safety Management Group: U.S. construction-focused safety consulting and staffing firm offering on-site safety professionals, audits, and OSHA compliance support — closely matches Safirst's on-site consulting and training model.
• Total Safety: Industrial and construction safety services company providing on-site safety personnel, training, and compliance support — comparable delivery model to Safirst, with broader geographic reach.

Emerging players

• OSHA Education Center: Online OSHA outreach training provider (OSHA 10/30) — directly competes with Safirst's OSHA training business on convenience and price, but lacks the bilingual, on-site, and consulting capabilities.
• SafetyCulture: Mobile-first safety inspection and training platform (iAuditor) used by construction and industrial teams — overlaps with Safirst's audit, inspection, and training offerings but is a software-first, self-serve alternative.
