The Virtual Safety Manager (VSM) Program leverages SPI’s 25+ years of industry knowledge, proprietary technology, and proven protocols to establish, support, and maintain safety programs for companies across the United States.

Too often, companies will task an unqualified HR or administrative employee with the complex task of safety management. With no safety knowledge, these employees do the bare minimum and open their company to increased liability and potential disaster. The VSM Program is designed to create and support serious safety programs without the cost of a full-time safety professional. Though every safety program is customized to the client’s specific needs, each VSM program has 3 common components:

• Customized Program Configuration – VSM clients will meet with a Safety Plus, Inc. Safety Expert to analyze your risks and exposures to establish the policies, protocols and procedures of your new safety program
• Safety Program Oversight – Safety programs are not something that you can set and forget; they require consistent monitoring and stern adherence to established rules, and VSM offers clients ongoing, unbiased evaluations of their safety metrics and will follow pre-determined protocols for notifying the client of risks in their program
• Safety Content – The VSM program includes access to an extensive library of SPI’s safety resources, including the SafetyPlusWeb^™ Training Library, 400+ Toolbox Talks, safety policy database, and more – employees can take training online from any location with their own unique login information or in group settings monitored by an administrative employee

All VSM customers have premium access to SafetyPlusWeb, Safety Plus Inc.’s proprietary safety management software. SafetyPlusWeb access allows customers to train employees, track compliance, log inspections, manage incidents, host safety meetings, assign drug tests and pull analytics at any time.

To offer even greater support, VSM customers can select from a list of additional safety services to support their unique safety needs. From instructor-led training and semi-regular facility/jobsite audits to DOT driver file management and pre-qualification services, Safety Plus offers the safety services organizations need to stay compliant and keep employees safe.

Welding is often considered an art form, even in production or manufacturing environments. It is a skill that takes both practice and the appropriate protection to perfect.

For the half of a million workers who perform welding activities daily, oftentimes alongside multiple workers in close quarters, it is important to consider all the hazards present in the workplace – and not just the ones you can see.
