What Exceed Safety does

Exceed Safety LLC is a privately held, full-spectrum workplace safety consulting firm founded in June 2022 by Tim Neubauer (MS, CSP, 30+ years of experience, formerly of the National Safety Council) and headquartered at 7610 Falls of Neuse Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. The firm serves construction and general industry clients with a portfolio of professional services including fractional safety team staffing, on-demand project management, inspections and audits, prequalification support, customized document creation, expert witness testimony for OSHA and civil litigation, and both in-person and online training (OSHA 10/30, general industry, construction, manufacturing, mining, HR compliance, and bilingual instruction). It also operates a small e-commerce storefront selling safety merchandise (ISOtunes hearing protection, Veratti Forzatech gloves, hard hats, Nitecore flashlights).

The underlying technology stack pairs inspection and audit software with a VR/metaverse-based immersive training platform that claims to cut training time by 4x and increase retention by 4x. The firm's advisory bench is credentialed with ISO 45001, CQA, Lean/Six Sigma, ANSI Z10, and OSHA OTI Level 500 certifications, and the founder has 20+ years of international conference speaking (NSC Congress, World of Concrete, ASSP, AHMP, VOSH, state safety councils). The company supports this consulting practice with a content engine of 206+ articles, 330+ YouTube safety moment videos, and a 130K+ newsletter circulation.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees (retainer-based fractional safety team subscriptions, multi-year consulting contracts, expert witness billing), online training course sales, and merchandise unit sales. The go-to-market is hybrid — consultative direct sales for enterprise engagements via phone and Calendly, speaking-led demand generation, and a self-service online channel for SMB and individual training customers. The firm operates across 21 U.S. states from four physical offices (Raleigh, Charlotte, Manassas VA, Winter Haven FL) and is founder-owned with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, or M&A activity.
