Grounded in 37 years of real commercial construction experience. Guided by the Harbor Risk Index — a proprietary risk scoring framework that gives you a clear, actionable picture of where your project stands.
A structured, repeatable framework for quantifying construction site risk — giving project owners and general contractors a clear, actionable picture of where they stand.
Most safety assessments give you a list of observations. The Harbor Risk Index gives you a score — a single, clear number that tells you exactly how serious a hazard is and what priority it deserves.
Each hazard is evaluated across three dimensions: Probability (how likely is this to cause an incident?), Severity (how serious would the outcome be?), and Exposure (how many people and how often?).
The result places every hazard into one of four priority tiers — each with a clear action timeline. No ambiguity. No guesswork. Just a clear roadmap for protecting your people and your project.
This is not a checklist. It is a risk intelligence framework built from 37 years of real job site experience.
Learn How It Works →I started as an apprentice electrician at 18. IBEW Local 103, Boston. Over 37 years I worked on high-rises, hospitals, cancer centers, and schools across Greater New England.

Safety is not a regulation. It is not a checklist. It is an act of love for the person standing next to you.
Every person on every job site is somebody's everything. They went to work today because people are counting on them. Harbor Safety Group exists to make sure they come home.
37 years of real stories from Boston's high-rise construction world — written for the trades and for every human being responsible for another person's life.
This book started as one man's thirty-seven years of job site stories. It became something more — a human book about why safety matters, who pays the price when it fails, and what every person can do to protect the people around them.
From a boy who lost his leg on a Florida job site, to Michael and his four children, to the young man who raised his hand in a classroom and became a safe electrician — these are the stories that change the way you show up every single day.
"Safety is the one thing that's gonna get you to the end. It is your best friend. Treat it like one."
