About CorpsPro Safety
Built From the Inside. Driven by Results.
Founded by the former Chief of Safety for USACE Los Angeles District — we’re here to help contractors eliminate guesswork, pass audits, and win with confidence.
Our Mission & Origin Story
CorpsPro Safety was founded with a single purpose: to give USACE and NAVFAC contractors the real-world tools they need to succeed.
Federal safety requirements—especially EM 385-1-1—are complex and unforgiving. Too many contractors assume that what worked on private or non-federal jobs will pass on a Corps or NAVFAC project. They’re wrong.
As the former Chief of Safety for USACE Los Angeles District—the government expert who reviewed (and rejected) thousands of submittals—Dr. Rainwater knows exactly why contractors fail.
APPs that don’t meet Corps standards
AHAs that are nowhere near compliant
Safety training that will never pass NAVFAC or USACE review
These mistakes cause stop-work orders, CPARS hits, letters of concern, cure notices, project delays, and even contract terminations. Worse, they cause serious injuries and fatalities— and nothing is worth that.
It’s time to stop guessing. Start winning.
No other firm is owned by the former Chief of Safety. No one else gives you the inside perspective of the person who set the standard. With CorpsPro Safety, you’re not hiring a consultant—you’re getting the playbook.
