💩 Why it's ugly

You spend time in warehouses, machine shops, loading docks, and binders last updated during a different administration. Your job is to notice ladders, labels, guards, logs, and human creativity at its least compliant.

💰 Why it prints money

Small manufacturers, warehouses, contractors, and food plants often need safety audits but cannot justify a full-time safety manager. Recurring audits, training documentation, and corrective-action tracking create retained revenue. Expertise and credibility matter more than expensive equipment.

🗺️ The launch playbook 🔒

Days 31–60

Buy the used equipment, not the new one. The route density is what makes this profitable, so cluster your first customers within a twenty minute radius and decline anything outside it.

This is the part that makes money.
