Founded over 20 years ago by a father with a deep commitment to protecting lives and empowering others, our company was built with the intent that it would always remain a family effort. That vision still drives us today. Even as our founder now faces a terminal illness, his passion for service, integrity, and education continues to guide every step we take.

We are proud to be deeply rooted in the community we serve. Our work focuses on making life-saving safety education accessible, relevant, and inclusive — especially in underserved and bilingual communities. With a strong emphasis on the construction, warehouse, and general industry sectors, we meet people where they are, providing practical training that reflects real-world challenges and prepares individuals for success.

Whether we’re working with schools, community organizations, or job seekers, our mission remains the same: to help every person return home safely — every day.

At Choose Safety 1st, we don’t just teach safety. We live it. And we pass it on — one worker, one student, one family at a time.

What do clients praise

Shannon Stasiuk

Thank you again for coming out over the past two weeks. I apologize for the rough weather during today’s session. Despite that the technicians had nothing but positive  feedback  about the training – you did a great job. We’ll definitely  be suing your services again in the future.
