About

Total Safety System

Most businesses want to keep their people safe, but safety often feels complicated, time-consuming, and hard to keep up with. You’re expected to know every rule, complete endless forms, and somehow get everyone to buy in. It’s no wonder safety ends up taking a back seat to daily operations.

That’s why Total Safety System exists. We help you make safety simple, practical, and built into the way you work. No jargon. No busywork. Just clear systems that protect your team and keep your business running strong.

Our approach combines real-world experience with business insight, so you’re not just compliant—you’re confident. We help you move from reacting to safety problems to leading a culture where people take ownership and stay engaged.

Meet the Founder & CEO

Hey, I’m Chris Martinez, founder of Total Safety System, Army Veteran, and Certified Safety Professional (CSP).

My safety journey started in the U.S. Army, where I learned the value of discipline, accountability, and taking care of the people around you. When I transitioned into civilian work, I brought those lessons with me and saw how powerful they are in building safer, stronger teams.

In 2021, I earned my MBA because I wanted to close the gap between safety and business leadership. I believe safety should help your business perform better, not slow it down. That’s the mindset behind every program and training we deliver.

I work closely with construction and trade businesses that want to take safety seriously—but need a clear, practical way to do it. What sets my approach apart is how I connect leadership and frontline workers through honest, productive conversations that lead to real results.

At the end of the day, safety is about people. My job is to help you protect yours—so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.

Let’s get to work.
