OUR STORY
Originally starting as a passion project by three college classmates, Safeguard Equipment was founded with the core idea of making the lives of our loved ones safer when working around power systems. After hearing the devastating fatality and injury statistics of linemen, along with having family members in the industry, Tim Ledford, Brandon Bledsoe, and John Thompson felt compelled to take action and provide a solution to electrocution for those at risk. They recognized that these individuals put their lives on the line every day to ensure that others have access to electricity, and they wanted to make sure that these brave men and women had the best protection available. Thus, Safeguard Equipment was born out of a desire to protect those who serve us all.
Originally based in Moscow, Idaho, the Company quickly gained widespread support from the surrounding community. This led to the Company’s first funding round in Spokane, Washington, when the Spokane Angel Alliance and Avista Utilities joined forces to provide a much-needed boost for the original three co-founders who were determined to achieve their life-saving goal. With the help of these two organizations, the founders were able to secure the necessary resources to take their venture to the next level and make an impact on the world. The enthusiasm and dedication of the local community was instrumental in providing the financial backing needed to launch the company’s mission.
Today, Safeguard Equipment has developed three groundbreaking products – COMPASS®, COMPASS LV® and COMPASS Pro® – that are revolutionizing the industry by setting a new standard for safety. With these innovative solutions, Safeguard is charging ahead of its competitors in an industry that’s desperate for higher safety standards. The company’s commitment to excellence and dedication to protecting lives have earned them a reputation as one of the most reliable providers of safety equipment on the market.
