Safety leadership training, speaking, and books

Never have a bad safety day again.

I help plants, jobsites, and field crews make the safety program on paper match the work people actually do. When those two line up, the same injury stops walking back in the gate.

I'm Ryan L. Rinehart, a Retired Navy Veteran and the founder of EHS Concepts. I wrote the books, I put the systems they describe in place, and I coach and mentor the people who have to run them on an ordinary Tuesday. I also teach OSHA 10 and 30 in person for General Industry and Construction.

John C. Maxwell Certified Speaker, Coach, and Trainer (October 2026), bringing leadership speaking, coaching, and training to business leaders in any industry and to safety and EHS leaders. See Maxwell Leadership speaking, coaching, and training.

Policy sets the standard, and the program keeps it funded. But practice, what people actually do on the job, is what stops the next injury. That's where I spend my time.

Plain definitions

Four words you'll hear from me, and what they mean on the job

Named asset

One plant, one gate, one job, or one crew we agree to work on. Not the whole company on day one.

Two rooms

The office view and the floor view, scored separately. Never averaged.

The break

The place the program fails on a Tuesday. Stop-work, staffing, bad news, or what changed after the last close call.

The binder

The written safety program. It has to match the job or it is only a file.

Ways to work with me

How I can help your team

Program review and advisory

I read the safety program you already have, then walk the work to see if it holds up. I tell leadership what to keep, what to park, and what to kill. If they want to move ahead, we put it in place at one site first.

Training

Leadership sessions out on the floor, coaching for the leader who still owns the result when the paperwork looks fine but the job doesn't, and in-person OSHA 10 and 30.

See training options

Speaking and mentoring

Keynotes, safety stand-downs, coaching, and six-month mentoring, with starting prices posted up front. No vendor pitches and no slogans.

Green Flags for Safety Professionals

Most of us learned to spot red flags. This free guide puts nine green flags in field terms: the behaviors that show a leader is safe to work with, so people can speak up, stop the job, and report a near miss without paying for it.

Service area

Where I work

I'm based in southwest Missouri and serve Springfield, Branson, and the Kansas City area from a second base in Independence. I teach in-person OSHA 10 and 30 classes, run leadership sessions, and give talks across Missouri, and I travel beyond when the work needs someone on site. Coaching and reviews can be remote.
