About SafeGuard PSM

Field-Hardened Expertise.

SafeGuard PSM is built on practitioners who ran the facilities they now protect. Bruce brings 45 years inside control rooms, shutdown meetings, and commissioning walkthroughs on some of the most complex facilities on earth. Michael brings 30+ years from the same trenches — construction, operations, PSM coordination, and commissioning across ethylene crackers, refineries, and GTL projects from Texas to Alaska to Saudi Arabia.

Why This Matters

They've Sat on Every Side of the PSM Table

As unit operators. As a PSM manager. As a plant manager. As a commissioning director. As consultants. They know what it's like to live by a PSM program — on a night shift, during a turnaround, when an inspector shows up unannounced. That is not a consulting credential. That is the credential.

⚙️
Operated the Units

They've worked the startup checklists, not just written them. Every procedure they build, they've executed at some point across decades of plant operations and commissioning.

📋
Managed the PSM Programs

They've owned the PSM budget, the PHAs, the P&ID reviews, and the audit responses — for billion-dollar capital programs. That perspective is baked into every recommendation they make.

🏭
Ran the Plants

Plant management means living with the consequences of safety decisions — good and bad. They don't give recommendations they wouldn't stake a plant on.
