Safety Dynamics Group, Inc. (SDG) is a Long Beach-based safety consulting, staffing, and training firm with 45+ years in business. We have recurring client work in the Bay Area and are looking for local, part-time safety professionals to support it.

Typical assignments:

1. Twice-monthly or weekly jobsite safety inspections with a written report (usually a half day per visit)
2. Toolbox talks and short on-site trainings
3. Mock OSHA / Cal/OSHA inspections and program reviews
4. Short-term site safety supervision to cover gaps

Current needs are in San Rafael and the South Bay/Peninsula (Palo Alto/Campbell), with more Bay Area projects in the pipeline.

What we’re looking for:

• OSHA 30 Construction at minimum; CHST, STS, OHST, or CSP a plus
• 3+ years of hands-on construction or industrial safety experience, including large commercial projects (concrete, PT decks, wood framing, tenant improvement)
• Comfortable walking a site with a superintendent, attending sub meetings, and writing a clear, photo-backed report
• Based in the Bay Area with reliable transportation

Pay is hourly or flat per visit depending on the assignment, paid W-2. $50-$75/hr

If you’re interested, send a resume and the areas you can cover to landy@safetydynamicsgroup.com or feel free to reach out to me directly at 714-408-5252.

Thanks!

Safety Excellence Group places environmental, safety and health professionals into advanced-industry construction — semiconductor fabrication, data centers and first-of-kind manufacturing. We are growing in Northern California and looking for a consultant to support our Bay Area accounts and help us build that market.

The role

You are the senior S.E.G. professional on an assigned project and our point of contact for the client. You own the safety condition of the work: challenging pre-task plans before work begins, driving findings to verified closure, holding trade partners to the standard consistently, delivering training and coaching at the point of work, and carrying stop-work authority for imminent danger.
Our sites are construction, but rarely ordinary construction. Live utilities and chemical systems sit alongside active work, often next to production that cannot be interrupted. That raises the bar on planning, coordination and judgment.
It also raises the administrative bar. A Tier 1 general contractor carries a heavy documentation load — permits, plans, inspections, audit-ready records, client reporting — and this role carries it without being chased.
We are looking for a culture change agent, not an inspector. The standard gets met through credibility and evidence, not escalation. People go to work to build a better future for the people they love — not to lose it.

What we are looking for

• 5+ years construction safety experience, including demonstrated experience leading others — not merely being senior.
• Advanced-industries exposure: semiconductor, data center or other mission-critical environments with live utilities and chemical systems.
• Commercial construction breadth, including tilt-up wall operations. Owner’s-representative experience is a strong plus.
• CHST required. CSP accepted in place of CHST where you already hold a four-year degree. OSHA 30 and First Aid / CPR / AED current;
• OSHA 500 preferred.
• Working command of California Title 8, including the Injury and Illness Prevention Program and heat illness prevention.
• A degree is preferred, not required. Field credibility and the ability to lead people outweigh the credential, and both of our career tracks converge at this level.

How we work

These are our core values. They are not wall art — they are how the work gets done here, and they carry the same weight in hiring as technical experience.

If that reads like you, we should talk. Applications and enquiries go to the Director of Workforce Operations.
