Who We Are


RME construction and industrial safety project photos

Serving the Rocky Mountain Region for over 10 years, RME specializes in helping employers develop, implement, and maintain loss prevention strategies, policies, and procedures proven to prevent unplanned events such as personal/employee injury, property damage, and adverse environmental impacts during the course of work (i.e. Construction, Demolition, and Manufacturing). Throughout all industries, it is widely known these unplanned events create lost productivity, business interruption, and increased insurance premiums which are not acceptable costs of doing business – bottom line. The Health and Safety of your business is of the utmost importance as the consequences can be catastrophically life changing for you, your employees, and their families.

RME offers a highly responsive and cost-effective alternative to traditional project-based environmental health and safety (EHS) consulting. We partner with our clients to manage risk and regulatory compliance for a fraction of the cost of an in-house EHS manager. RME's specialized programs will reduce your company's workers' comp rates, decrease workplace injury rates and severity, and provide a shield from costly noncompliance fines and penalties.

RME offers highly qualified Board Certified Health and Safety professionals to provide expert training, consulting services, and is committed to helping you eliminate losses affecting your bottom line before they occur.

RME understands the complexity of multi-employer worksites and the unique nature of construction hazards requiring continuous emphasis on site safety and health issues on a job site. RME has extensive experience working on multi-employer construction sites across commercial, residential, general industry (manufacturing), construction, and government project locations – managing the relationship between all trades, from prime contractors to all sub-tier contractors.

RME partners with all types of contractors and can provide project-based support or a complete outsourced construction site safety management solution – experienced safety leadership and continuous attention to the details of health and safety at your location, for the betterment of your employees and business partners. RME's process and procedural implementation and enforcement strategies will greatly reduce regulatory issues that can derail the success of any project.

RME provides leadership, tools, and solutions that maximize your bottom line while strengthening your most valuable resource – your employees. RME believes customer satisfaction derives from our ability to balance regulatory compliance with the associated risk within your line of business.
