About KP2 Safety Consulting

Safety Consulting That Actually Knows Your Name

Hands-on OSHA compliance and jobsite safety for small contractors across Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

Our story

Why We Built KP2 Safety Consulting

For years, we watched small contracting companies get treated like second-class citizens by big national safety consulting firms.

Small contractors do not have full-time safety departments. But they work on the same high-risk jobsites as multi-million-dollar corporations — and face the same OSHA penalties if something goes wrong.

Our promise

Every small contractor deserves a dedicated safety consultant who knows their business, knows their crew, and shows up when it matters most.

Personalized protection: on-site, hands-on, and focused on your crew’s daily reality.

Leadership

Meet Paul Shoemaker

Founder & Lead Safety Consultant

Paul brings more than 15 years of hands-on workplace safety experience to every contractor client. He is an OSHA Authorized Trainer. His approach is practical, direct, and grounded in real jobsite conditions.

“I don’t believe in handing a contractor a 300-page binder full of legal jargon. A real safety program lives in the field, not in a filing cabinet.”
