INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Safety Management Group (SMG), a leading provider of safety, environmental, and risk management services, today announced the acquisition of CrossSafety, one of Canada’s largest and most established providers of workplace and public health and safety services. The acquisition also includes CrossSafety’s TRH operations in the United States and Mexico, further expanding SMG’s ability to serve clients throughout North America.

The acquisition was completed with the support of SMG’s investment partner, Gryphon Investors, and represents another milestone in the company’s long-term growth strategy.

The combination brings together more than 500 environmental, health and safety (EHS) professionals serving clients across Canada, the United States, and Mexico, strengthening SMG’s position as one of North America’s premier safety, environmental, and risk management companies. 

“This is an exciting milestone for SMG and an important step in our long-term growth strategy,” said Randy Gieseking, President and CEO of Safety Management Group. “Over the past two years, our teams have had the opportunity to work together on shared clients and projects. Those experiences confirmed what we already believed: our companies share a commitment to exceptional client service, outstanding people, and a culture centered on protecting workers. Bringing our teams together creates tremendous opportunities for our employees and enables us to deliver even greater value to our clients.” 

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, SMG has spent more than 35 years helping organizations improve safety performance, manage environmental risk, and protect their workforce through consulting, embedded safety professionals, training, technology, and environmental services. 

Founded more than 30 years ago and headquartered in Canada, CrossSafety has earned a strong reputation for delivering workplace and public health and safety services across a wide range of industries. Its experienced professionals support organizations throughout Canada, the United States, and Mexico through safety consulting, project support, and environmental, health, and safety services. 

“Joining SMG represents an exciting opportunity for our employees and our clients,” said John Murphy, CEO of CrossSafety. “Our companies have built a strong relationship over the past several years, and we’ve seen firsthand how well our teams work together. By combining our expertise, expanding our capabilities, and preserving the relationships our clients value, we’re creating an even stronger company positioned to support organizations across North America.” 

The acquisition expands SMG’s geographic reach while enhancing its ability to serve national and multinational clients with consistent, high-quality safety, environmental, and risk management solutions. Clients will benefit from expanded expertise, broader service offerings, and increased access to experienced EHS professionals across North America. 

CrossSafety will continue operating under the CrossSafety brand in Canada, led by John Murphy and the existing Canadian leadership team. The company has built a strong reputation and trusted client relationships throughout Canada, and SMG intends to build on that success while creating new opportunities for collaboration and growth across North America. 

“This partnership is about more than expanding our footprint,” Gieseking added. “Safety is a people business. Our clients trust experienced professionals to help them solve complex challenges and protect their workforce. By bringing together two outstanding teams, we’re investing in our people, strengthening our capabilities, and building the future of safety across North America.”
