Built from the Ground Up

Black Banner Safety was born from lived experience. Heather Knowles spent her career in environments where safety wasn’t optional—it was survival. From military flightlines to manufacturing floors, correctional facilities to county offices, she saw how often safety systems struggled not from a lack of rules, but a lack of connection.

At Black Banner Safety, we believe safety should feel like support, not surveillance.

That’s why we design programs that fit the people doing the work. Our digital-first approach gives small and mid-sized teams access to practical, high-impact tools that strengthen compliance and build confidence—without overwhelming resources or budgets.

Who We Serve

We work with public and private sector clients who are ready to ditch the bloated binders and actually move the needle on risk.

Our services are built for teams like:
• Small-to-midsize businesses building or improving their safety programs
• Government agencies or departments managing operational risk
• Organizations navigating high-risk tasks with limited internal resources

Whether you’re starting from scratch or overhauling what isn’t working, we’ve got your six.

Virtual by Design

Though headquartered in Minnesota, Black Banner Safety was built to work across borders. Every system, toolkit, and consulting engagement is structured for virtual delivery, giving organizations nationwide the same precision, speed, and tactical focus—no matter where they operate.

This model reduces travel and overhead while maximizing responsiveness, efficiency, and accessibility. It’s how we bring real-world safety management into the digital age.

Why the Raven?

Ravens are intelligent, tactical, and fiercely protective of their own. They thrive in complexity, adapt to challenge, and signal transformation.

That’s the spirit we bring to every engagement.

Mission-Ready, Always

We’re not here to hand you a template and walk away. We’re here to build systems that work—for your people, in your world.
