About Skilled Safety Management.

NYC's licensed site safety firm. Built to staff projects right, the first time.

What we do

Skilled Safety Management (SSM) is a New York City construction safety firm. We provide DOB-licensed Site Safety Managers, Site Safety Coordinators, Concrete Safety Managers, FDNY Fire Safety Managers, Construction Safety Engineers, and full Site Safety Plan preparation across all five boroughs and the surrounding metro area. We work with general contractors, construction managers, developers, building owners, and self-perform builders on commercial, residential high-rise, hospitality, healthcare, infrastructure, and mixed-use projects.

What makes us different

Most NYC site safety firms operate as license rental companies. They sign up credentialed managers as 1099 contractors and rent the license to projects, leaving the manager to handle DOB violations and paperwork alone. We don't.

Every credential we sell is held by an actual SSM employee. We don't subcontract licenses. Our managers know NYC DOB inspectors, FDNY chiefs, and the local idiosyncrasies of building safely in dense urban environments. We staff projects within 48 hours of contract signing and our field managers respond to active-site issues within one hour, day or night.

Founder

SSM was founded in 2024 by Raja Khan, a NYC site safety professional who built the firm around the simple idea that credentialed managers should be paid like professionals, supported like professionals, and respected like professionals. Clients should be able to trust who's actually on their site.

Office

Our office is at 249 52nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11220, Sunset Park, Brooklyn. From here we dispatch field staff to all five NYC boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, and parts of northern New Jersey.
