Construction & Industrial Safety Support Services
All of our Safety Support Supervisors are certified and experienced in providing your job site or project with permanent or temporary Construction and Industrial Safety Support Services. We will identify risks on the job site and create safety protocols based on those risks.
We ensure your project meets all safety standards and is regulatory compliant by: Establishing protocols, standard operating procedures, and building safety plans; Training on those protocols; Performing safety inspections; and Providing written reports.
We can be contracted on a part time or full time (24x7, 365 days a year) basis. We can also provide immediate response in emergency situations and outages.
FAQs:
What is a Construction and Industrial Safety Support Supervisor:
They are responsible for implementing a site safety plan (which identifies potential hazards and the best practices to minimize those hazards), Looking at how to manage risk at a construction site, Ensuring workers on the job are in compliance with safety regulations, and monitoring the job site safety at every stage of the project. One of the biggest responsibilities of a construction safety officer is to make sure the job site is in compliance with all safety regulations. For example, if workers are doing a confined space entry, the safety officer would make sure the confined space entry training has been properly completed, OSHA confined space entry procedures are followed, and the correct PPE is used.
Do you conduct Safety Inspections?
Yes -our safety supervisors can conduct these inspections throughout the project depending on the scope of your project. They may inspect the site as well as the tools, machinery, and equipment being used.
Do you provide safety training?
Yes, we offer site safety orientation to train workers on the specific safety protocols that have been established, These might include emergency response drills, evacuation procedures, cave in rescues, confined space rescures, or fires
Do you provide written documention and reports?
Yes, we can be responsible for writing and submitting safety reports which document safety hazards, the measures that are in place to reduce risks, and any safety incidents that may have occurred based on the scope of your project.

Fire protection is changing fast, and so are the expectations around fire watch. As codes evolve and enforcement tightens, many contractors and facility owners are realizing that a “warm body with a flashlight” isn’t enough. They need qualified, trained eyes—people who understand fire behavior, impairment procedures, and hot work risks the way firefighters do. That’s where a fire service–based fire watch company stands apart.
Why professional fire watch matters now.
Modern codes layer multiple requirements on top of each other. NFPA standards (like NFPA 101, 25, and 51B), OSHA regulations,and the latest International Fire Code (IFC 2024),all converge on one simple idea: when your fire protection is compromised or you’re performing high risk work, you must provide continuous, competent fire watch patrol,not just security. Buildings now trigger fire watch when required fire alarms or sprinklers are out of service, during hot work in sensitive areas, and throughout certain construction and demolition operations. At the same time, OSHA expects trained fire watch personnel to recognize hazards, use extinguishers on incipient fires, and follow clear emergency procedures. Together, these requirements demand people who understand both life safety and worker safety, not just someone walking a route.
Built and staffed by Fire Service Professionals
Built and staffed by fire service professionals. Our company is built around active and former fire service members who live these standards every day. Firefighters are already trained to read a building, understand how fire protection systems work, and recognize early signs of trouble long before a layperson would. They’re used to operating under NFPA based codes and working closely with fire marshals, inspectors, and AHJs, so they understand what “approved fire watch” really means in practice. When EPS staffs a post, you’re not just getting a security guard,you’re getting someone who can speak the same language as your safety team, your contractor, and your local fire authority, and who can translate code language into real world actions on your site.
Aligned with NFPA, OSHA and IFC 2024
Aligned with NFPA, OSHA, and IFC 2024 Behind the scenes, we design our procedures to sit at the intersection of NFPA, OSHA, and the 2024 IFC. That means our fire watch personnel are trained in extinguisher use, notification procedures, hazard recognition, and hot work controls, the way NFPA expects. It means our deployments respect OSHA’s expectations for focused fire watch duties, especially during welding and cutting, while still meeting the fire code’s call for continuous, systematic patrols of affected areas. And it means we understand the new IFC 2024 language around system impairments, construction fire safety, and hot work fire watch, so when your alarm or sprinkler system is down or you’re working in a high risk phase of a project, we can help you stay on the right side of both safety and compliance.
Practical support for contractors and owners
Practical support for contractors and owners We know that for contractors and building owners, the challenge is not just “do a fire watch”— it’s “do a fire watch that will satisfy the inspector and protect people without shutting down work unnecessarily.” That’s why we pair our on site services with clear, code informed documentation. Our teams maintain fire watch logs, track patrol intervals, and document conditions so you can show exactly how you mitigated risk during impairments or hot work. We help you interpret when a fire watch is needed, how many personnel are appropriate, and how to integrate fire watch into hot work permits, system impairment plans, and site specific safety programs.
A partner in safety, not just a vendor
Ultimately, a fire watch patrol is about buying time: time to spot a problem early, to stop a small fire from becoming a big one, and to get people to safety if things go wrong. When that responsibility is placed in the hands of people who already dedicate their careers to fire and life safety, it shows—in their vigilance, in their communication, and in the confidence your teams and your AHJ have in your site. By choosing a fire service–based fire watch provider, you’re not just checking a box in the code; you’re bringing the mindset and experience of the fire service directly into your operation, helping you safeguard people, property, and projects when it matters most.
How much is your Firewatch service?
Our services are based on many factors, such as, the duration of the patrol, the site that needs to be patrolled, the number of Firewatch professionals required, the skill level of the Firewatch professionals required, and the hours/ days that are needed.
