" Luis and his team are amazing. Their energy and innovative approaches, combined with an uncanny ability to create positive safety cultures, sets them apart in the professional consulting world. Their extremely close Latino family-owned business also distinguishes itself by a focus on the Latino workforce, and that is a great service that is so badly needed in our nation. "

" When Luis Ortiz first joined one of our companies as the Director of EHS, we were facing an overwhelming number of litigated claims—among the highest in our enterprise. However, under Luis’s leadership, we began to see immediate, meaningful changes. His ability to implement effective safety systems and engage the workforce in safety culture was unparalleled. Since transitioning to his own firm, Safety First Management, and continuing to support us as their first client, that company went from having the most litigated claims to the one with the fewest. For two consecutive years, we’ve achieved record-breaking lows in both injuries and workers' compensation claims. We’re proud to have been Safety First Management’s first client and to continue to see exceptional results under Luis’s guidance."

" When I first met and hired Luis Ortiz, I knew he was destined for great things in the EHS field and in life. Luis was always highly motivated and eager to learn, which made him stand out. We spent countless hours discussing safety and health principles, theory, and practical applications, particularly around protecting workers from exposures to various air contaminants. Specific applications we worked on included protecting our people from heavy metals, such as lead and cadmium, protecting them from solvent exposures, and of course, implementing true and effective lockout scenarios. Luis has learned the true art of protecting workers and collaborating with operations teams in a way that enhances any company’s bottom line. I am proud to have been Luis’s first EHS manager and mentor, and I am equally proud of how he’s grown into a trusted expert. Since then, I have hired Luis’s company to assist my company with specific health and safety needs, and I would do it again with full confidence that the work would be done accurately and professionally.
