Organizations spend thousands on compliance checklists that gather dust. Incident rates stay flat. Leadership sees safety as a cost center. Sound familiar?
With 32 years of hands-on experience in occupational safety and health, Bobbi has spent her career turning safety from a compliance checkbox into a culture that actually works.
As the founder of The Safety Firm and creator of the Safety Program Accelerator, she's developed the frameworks and methodologies that have transformed safety programs across industries — from construction to manufacturing to corporate environments.
Her new book, "Safety As A Strategy," is available for pre-order now — distilling 32 years of field experience into actionable guidance. The Accelerator brings that same depth into a structured 12-week cohort.
This September, the Safety Program Accelerator opens its doors again — and this cohort comes with a serious upgrade. Updated content, new tools, and expanded expertise to reflect where the field is actually going.
New modules on leveraging AI to audit programs, identify hazards, and build smarter safety workflows — without replacing the human judgment that matters most.
Reflecting real shifts in the industry — updated frameworks, new case studies, and field-tested approaches that didn't exist in earlier cohorts.
Bringing in additional subject matter experts across industries — so you get more perspectives, more depth, and more relevant guidance for your specific context.
Each week builds on the last. By the end, you'll have the frameworks, skills, and confidence to build, implement, and manage a safety program for your organization — not just theory, but the real thing.

A parallel path within the Safety Program Accelerator designed for professionals who work with safety teams — not as safety consultants. Build the fluency to advise clients with real confidence, without needing to become an EHS expert.
The Trusted Advisor Track is built for insurance agents, PPE sales representatives, and other professionals who regularly advise or sell to safety-conscious organizations. You don't want to become a safety consultant — you want to speak the language, ask better questions, and bring more value to the clients you already serve.
Participants take the SPA alongside other students, with tailored content and case studies that reflect your specific industry context.
The definitive book on transforming safety from a compliance obligation into a competitive advantage. Drawing on 32 years of frontline experience, Bobbi lays out the frameworks, the hard truths, and the proven strategies that turn safety departments into business drivers.
