Our Story
Safety Brief wasn't built in a boardroom. It was built by two guys from the trades who kept hearing the same problem from contractors across the country.
How It Started
Safety Brief didn't start with a business plan. It started with a conversation between two guys who spent years in the trades and kept hearing the same thing from contractors and company owners: safety training was something everyone knew they needed, but nobody had time to do right.
Jamie kept hearing it from the employers around him. Jason was hearing it from the business owners and contractors he works with every day in real estate. We talked to company owners across the country who all said the same thing — they wanted something that could be done for them, something their crews would actually engage with, and something that might help with their insurance costs.
So we built it. Safety Brief is the service we kept wishing someone would build — and when no one did, we did it ourselves.
We combined Jason's background in the trades and real estate with Jamie's decades of hands-on plumbing experience and business ownership to create something that actually works for real crews on real jobsites — not just on paper.
The Team
Jason started in the trades at 16 as a plumbing apprentice, then spent years in underground utilities — laying pipe, pouring concrete, operating heavy equipment, and drilling wells. He went on to spend seven years at Boeing as a pneumatic pressure test sealer and painter on commercial aircraft, where safety documentation wasn't optional — it was the job.
After transitioning into home lending and then real estate, Jason now helps clients buy, sell, and invest in property nationwide. It was through those contractor relationships that the idea for Safety Brief came together.
Every contractor I talk to in real estate says the same thing — they know they need consistent safety training, they just don't have time to do it right. That's exactly why we built Safety Brief.
Jamie is a licensed plumber who built his career from the ground up. He owned and operated his own plumbing company — which means he knows firsthand what it's like to be responsible for keeping a crew safe, staying compliant, and running a business at the same time.
He currently works as a plumber for a school district, where facilities safety and documented training are part of daily operations. When Jamie started hearing employers talk about the gap in accessible, affordable safety training, he knew exactly what they meant — and what a real solution had to look like.

Why Safety Brief
Most safety training is either too expensive, too generic, or too much work to implement consistently. Contractors told us they wanted something that showed up every week, spoke to their crews in plain language — and their language — and gave them the documentation to back it up.
We built Safety Brief to be exactly that. Modern safety training for real jobsites, delivered as AI-powered videos in English, Spanish, and 40+ languages — with sign-ins, completion tracking, and documentation built in.
Join contractors nationwide using Safety Brief to run consistent, documented safety training in their crew's language — without spending hours creating it themselves.
