I am Tommy Thompson, Founder and CEO of Thompson Safety, a national provider of workplace safety and fire protection services.
Our mission is simple but vital- to help businesses safeguard their people, property and productivity.
What began as a small local company supplying first aid products and fire protection services has grown into a comprehensive, one-stop partner for all aspects of workplace protection.
Today, we support businesses across the country with services ranging from first aid and personal protective equipment (PPE) to fire extinguishers, eyewash stations, sprinkler and alarm services, respiratory protection and more.
Tommy Thompson
My role as CEO is to ensure that we continue to lead with reliability, responsiveness and an unwavering commitment to helping our clients create safer, more compliant and more productive work environments.
Whether we are serving a single-site manufacturer or a national chain, our goal is always the same- to deliver safety that’s simple, dependable and proactive.
Exposure to airborne contaminants whether dust, fumes or gases poses serious risks to employee health and business continuity.
In the short term, workers can experience eye irritation, dizziness or respiratory discomfort.
Over time, unprotected exposure can lead to chronic respiratory disease, lung damage or vision impairment, conditions that not only impact individual lives but also drive-up healthcare costs and reduce productivity across industries.
At Thompson Safety, we believe that protection isn’t just about compliance, it’s about prevention.
Invisible hazards are often the most dangerous and they don’t always give warning signs until it’s too late.
Proper PPE and respiratory protection help prevent long-term illnesses and reduce liability for employers.
We believe every worker deserves to go home in the same condition they arrived; healthy, safe and protected from hazards that can’t always be seen.

Safety isn’t a luxury or an afterthought- it’s a responsibility that every company shares.
Respiratory protection is not one-size-fits-all. The right respirator depends on the environment, exposure level and duration of use.
At Thompson Safety, we provide an extensive range of options to meet each customer’s specific needs.
For general airborne particles, our clients often rely on disposable N95 respirators.
These are ideal for construction sites, maintenance teams and industrial facilities where dust or debris is common.
For more hazardous exposures, such as those involving chemical vapors or gases, we supply half- and full-face respirators equipped with appropriate filters and cartridges.

For continuous protection and comfort during long shifts, especially in manufacturing, healthcare and energy sectors we recommend Powered Air-Purifying Respirators (PAPRs).
These systems deliver a steady stream of clean air to the user, reducing fatigue and improving comfort during extended use.
Our team collaborate directly with each client to conduct site assessments, fit testing, training and compliance checks to ensure every respirator meets OSHA and NIOSH standards.
It’s not just about selling equipment- it’s about creating a complete respiratory protection program that keeps workers safe and businesses compliant.
Eyewash stations are one of those critical safety systems you hope you never have to use but if you do, it must work flawlessly and immediately.
Seconds matter in a chemical splash or debris exposure.
Regular inspection and maintenance ensure that eyewash systems deliver the correct water pressure, flow rate and temperature, as required by OSHA and ANSI standards.
Tommy Thompson
Without consistent upkeep, bacteria or sediment can accumulate in stagnant water, potentially worsening an injury instead of helping it.
That’s why we offer inspection, testing and full maintenance programs that helps ensure a unit performs when it’s needed most.
Our technicians oversee the inspection documentation and routine service schedules, removing the burden from busy facility managers.
It’s another way we simplify safety, ensuring that our clients can focus on their business while knowing their emergency equipment is ready and reliable.
Regulatory standards are the foundation of what we do. OSHA’s 1910.134 standard for respiratory protection and ANSI Z358.1 and CFR 1910.151 for eyewash stations establish the baseline requirements for keeping workers safe.
But at Thompson Safety, we view compliance as a starting point not the finish line.
When standards evolve, it challenges us to innovate. We continuously update our programs and training to reflect new research and regulatory changes.
Our initiative-taking approach ensures clients not only meet federal and state requirements but also strengthen their overall safety culture.
Tommy Thompson
These evolving standards drive technology adoption too.
From digital inspection records to automated compliance tracking, we’re investing in solutions that make adherence easier and more transparent.
Compliance shouldn’t be confusing it should be part of the workflow. Our goal is to help customers stay one step ahead of risk through smarter, data-driven safety programs.
Safety is most effective when it is integrated, not fragmented.
That is why Thompson Safety delivers a comprehensive suite of both safety and fire protection services under one roof.
We manage everything from first aid cabinet replenishment, PPE supply and AED inspections to fire extinguisher testing, suppression system maintenance and alarm monitoring.
Tommy Thompson
This full-service model means our clients no longer need multiple vendors to manage compliance they have one trusted partner who understands every aspect of their safety program.
Our technicians are cross-trained in both fire and safety regulations, ensuring consistency, accuracy and efficiency across our service areas.
Whether we are inspecting a fire extinguisher or refilling a first aid kit, our team’s focus remains on preventing incidents before they occur.
That integrated approach saves clients time, reduces costs and keeps workplaces safer.
We are entering an exciting chapter.
Over the next five years, Thompson Safety plans to expand its national footprint while maintaining the hands-on service and responsiveness that built our reputation.
We have completed several strategic acquisitions in key markets, strengthening our presence in all the markets we serve.
These partnerships allow us to serve more clients with the same personal attention they expect from a local provider backed by the scale and resources of a national organization.
We’re also investing heavily in technology-driven compliance tracking and customer portals that provide real-time visibility into inspection schedules, service histories and certification records.
Our clients can now manage safety with a few clicks, something that would have taken hours or paper forms in the past.
Our vision is to become the most trusted name in safety and fire protection nationwide.
Tommy Thompson
We want Thompson Safety to be synonymous with reliability, integrity and simplicity in workplace safety.
Our mission has always been about helping companies protect what matters most their people.
If we can continue to do that while setting new industry standards, then we are fulfilling our purpose.
Safety should never be complicated and at Thompson Safety, we are making sure it never is.
