About

We didn’t learn it in a classroom. We learned it in the field.

Who we are, where we come from, and why process safety is never improvised.

Our story

It started in the field, where you see risk up close.

More than two decades ago, two friends and UNET graduates met by chance on a bus heading to Guasdualito, in Venezuela's oil-producing Alto Apure. They were two young engineers on their way to jobs in the oil industry, and that ride became their first conversation about protecting lives and controlling risk.

Fate reunited them in Caracas, studying a graduate program in Industrial Safety, both now part of PDVSA. Then their paths split: one founded his own consulting and process-safety firm; the other grew for fourteen years inside a refinery, among major-event investigations, fires, spills, audits and critical operations.

Later, in Texas, that same professional added field work in vapor recovery units (VRU) and H₂S environments, alongside international credentials CCPS, NEBOSH and H₂S instructor training under ANSI/ASSP Z390.1. From a distance, the two careers came together again, and Global Safety Solutions was born: a promise made in their youth turned into an organization with purpose.

“We didn’t learn process safety in a classroom. We learned it in the field, where a catastrophe is either prevented by judgment or paid for in lives.” The thread that runs through GSS

What we believe

We don’t sell courses. We install judgment that protects lives.

Mission

Keep the worst day from ever becoming one.

We bring world-class process safety to Hispanic and American industry, on their real processes. We don’t sell courses. We install judgment that protects lives.

Founded by José Félix Castañeda Gómez and Luis Alfonso Sánchez Rojas, on the four pillars of CCPS process safety:

Commit to safety Understand hazards and risk Manage risk Learn from experience
01

Technical truth

We say what protects, even when it costs. No fine print.

02

Field rigor

We learned it where mistakes are paid for dearly, not on a slide.

03

Tailored

Your plant, your risks, your people. Never a canned syllabus.

04

Traceable and auditable

If you can’t prove it, it doesn’t count as a control.

Track record

From the field to your plant.

Global Safety Solutions has been operating for 3 years, but the experience you see here does not belong to the brand. It belongs to our founders and instructors, built over entire careers on the plant floor. These are the milestones of those people and of the company they created.

  1. The reunion

    More than two decades ago, two friends and UNET graduates meet by chance on a bus to Guasdualito, in Venezuela's oil-producing Alto Apure. Two young engineers who begin to dream of safety systems built to protect lives.

  2. Graduate studies and PDVSA

    Fate brings them together again in Caracas, studying a graduate program in Industrial Safety, now both part of PDVSA. Safety stops being a concern and becomes a calling.

  3. Two paths

    One founds his own consulting and process-safety firm. The other grows for fourteen years inside a refinery: major events, fires, spills, audits and critical operations.

  4. Texas and certification

    In Texas he adds field work in vapor recovery units (VRU) and H₂S environments, and earns international credentials: CCPS, NEBOSH and H₂S instructor under ANSI/ASSP Z390.1.

  5. Global Safety Solutions is born

    From a distance, the two careers come together again. Operational experience, international training and entrepreneurial drive combine into a single organization with purpose.

In the field

Where it really happens.

We don’t talk about safety from a desk. We live it where mistakes are paid for dearly.

Nuestra identidad

We don’t just know safety. We know how to communicate it.

Our symbol isn’t decoration. Every element means something. Tap each point to find out.

The control tower

It watches, coordinates and anticipates. It is our obsession with process control: seeing risk from above and giving the right instruction before it escalates.

The aircraft

The precision and discipline of aviation brought to industry: procedures, verification and judgment that allow no shortcuts.

The stripes

Blue, red and green in motion: the solid foundation, the risk that is never ignored and the work done right. Together they are a safety culture that connects and communicates.

The world

Our reach: world-class process safety brought to Hispanic and American industry, across the Americas and on their real processes.

Por qué se ve y se transmite así

This is how Global Safety Solutions looks and speaks: control that anticipates, precision that never improvises and a culture that connects. Above we tell where we come from; the symbol tells how we say it, every day, in every plant.
