Safety is the Right Thing to Do.
That’s the mantra you’ll hear
over and over from the safety professionals at Safety
Management Group. Since 1997, the company has
provided full-service workplace safety solutions to
clients throughout the country and across industries. Safety
Management Group’s hundreds of
clients
include healthcare facilities,
construction firms,
manufacturing
facilities,
insurance providers and
municipalities.
Our concern
remains to create the safest workplace possible.
Safety Management Group began providing
safety services during
the 1980s, when its founders, Kent Burget and a previous partner, were
hired by a global pharmaceuticals company to manage contractor
safety at its facilities. At a time before the concept of safety was fully
understood and high incidence levels were acceptable, Burget traveled
the state of Indiana and began preaching the gospel of safety. The
company incorporated in 1997 and further developed its safety services.
As Safety Management Group grew; the management team grew
and developed a vision to be “the best provider of safety staffing,
education, products and services,” and a mission to “provide ethical,
professional, and contemporary safety services to equip conscientious
customers with resources to succeed in preventing loss of life, limb,
and property.” Says President Kent Burget, “The ‘contemporary’ aspect
has really separated us. We really try to embrace technology, adjust
and make changes to our approaches, and ultimately act as coaches for
safety. This is contrary to the perception that safety professionals
mainly serve in an enforcement role.”
One factor in the company’s success thus far: members of the
management team were offered ownership in the company. “By no
means could I see these people working as hard as they do and not
have an opportunity to be owners,” says Burget.
As a workplace, Safety Management Group distinguishes itself with
excellent benefits, including full coverage of continuing education,
competitive pay, a cash bonus to reward top performers, a 401K match,
and a year-end bonus. “To be the best, we have to attract the best
professionals,” says Burget. “Once they’re here, they can take full
advantage of all our benefits.”
Safety Management Group not only continues to perform work for the
pharmaceuticals conglomerate, the company also continues to provide
the same degree of comprehensive safety services to
healthcare facilities, construction firms, manufacturing facilities,
insurance providers, municipalities, and numerous other clients large and small,
Safety Management Group 's services range from onsite
safety consultation, safety training, safety inspections,
OSHA inspection-related assistance, written safety programs,
loss control evaluations, and full-time project safety management.
