Frequently Asked Questions About SSHO Services

What is an SSHO?

A Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) is a qualified safety professional who serves as the contractor’s primary safety representative on federal construction projects. The SSHO ensures compliance with EM 385-1-1 safety requirements, conducts daily inspections, develops safety plans, provides worker training, and serves as the main point of contact for government safety inspectors.

When is an SSHO required?

USACE, NAVFAC, and most federal construction contracts require a dedicated SSHO when the contract value exceeds $5 million or when the contracting officer determines project hazards warrant it. Review your contract’s Section 01 35 26 for specific SSHO requirements.

What qualifications does your SSHO staff have?

Our SSHO team includes Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH), Certified Safety Professionals (CSP), and Construction Health and Safety Technicians (CHST). All staff have 30-Hour OSHA Construction Safety certification, EM 385-1-1 training, and extensive experience on federal military construction projects.

How does working with an SDVOSB help my company?

As a certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, we help prime contractors meet their small business subcontracting goals on federal projects. Subcontracting with us counts toward your SDVOSB participation requirements, helping you maintain compliance and improve your past performance record for future federal opportunities.

What’s your geographic coverage?

We’re based in San Diego and primarily serve California military installations, but we provide SSHO services nationwide for federal construction projects. Contact us to discuss your project location.

How quickly can you mobilize an SSHO?

We maintain a team of ready SSHO professionals and can typically mobilize within 1-2 weeks of contract award, depending on base access clearance timelines.

What makes your SSHOs different from other providers?

Our SSHOs are senior-level professionals—not entry-level safety reps. As one client said: “He’s a rare SSHO that’s for sure…superior senior level with no ego, excellent communicator for crafts and management.” Our SSHOs genuinely aspire to help your project succeed. Plus, every SSHO has access to our senior-level safety experts (CIH, CSP) for reachback support on complex issues. You get an SSHO you don’t need to worry about—one who executes seamlessly and pays dividends throughout your project.

Are your SSHOs competitive on price?

We provide competitive pricing while maintaining superior quality. We’re sometimes not the lowest bidder, but our clients consistently tell us the quality and professionalism of our SSHOs provides significant value throughout the project. A highly qualified SSHO who prevents problems and executes seamlessly is worth more than a cheaper option who creates headaches. We try to provide the most qualified candidates so your project is executed smoothly.

Can you provide bilingual SSHOs?

Yes. Several of our SSHOs are bilingual (English/Spanish), which can be valuable for effective communication with diverse craft workers. Our SSHOs pass background checks and clearance requirements for federal projects. Let us know if bilingual capability is important for your project.

Do you provide backup coverage if needed?

Yes. While it can be challenging on short notice, we’ve successfully brought in senior-level staff to provide temporary backup coverage when needed. Throughout your project, your SSHO also has access to our senior-level construction safety professionals for technical support on complex issues.
