About us
CMK Safety First was established in 2019, to provide the construction industry with a more reliable, field-oriented safety partner. We believe that a safe job site is an efficient job site. Our team consists of industry veterans who understand the nuances of New York construction, from residential developments to high-rise commercial builds.
Our Mission
Our goal is to protect the two most important assets of any project: the workers on the line and the project’s timeline. We accomplish this through proactive risk assessment, rigorous inspection, and a commitment to zero-violation performance.
Safety as a Culture
We believe safety is not a checklist, but a mindset. Every worker is empowered to speak up and stop work if they identify an unsafe condition.
Prevention First
Our goal is zero incidents. We prioritize identifying physical and environmental hazards before a task even begins.
Education and Growth
Continuous training is the backbone of a safe site. We stay current with the latest regulatory changes and industry best practices.
Accountability
We take ownership of the safety results on our sites, providing transparent reporting and honest assessments to our partners.
Core Values
How We Work
Site Assessment: We conduct an initial walkthrough to understand the unique geography and architectural challenges.

Regulatory Filing: We manage the submission process to local authorities (like the DOB or DOT) for Permit
Operational Oversight: Once construction begins, our licensed personnel provide the daily monitoring needed to ensure the plan is followed.
Ongoing Optimization: We update the safety plan to reflect the new phase of work.
