Safety professional in hard hat on a construction site

Our Story

Built by someone who's been on the job.

Legacy Safety Supply exists because the right gear, from the right people, saves lives. We know the work because we've done the work.

Why We Started Legacy Safety Supply

Legacy Safety Supply was built out of a simple belief: contractors and tradespeople deserve a supplier who actually understands the hazards they face every day.

Rob Shoaff spent 30+ years in EHS leadership across construction, heavy manufacturing, utilities, and industrial operations before founding Legacy Safety. He's been on the job sites, in the plants, and in the trenches — and he built this supply company to reflect that experience.

We're Indiana-based, BBB accredited, and backed by the full resources of Legacy Safety Group. When you call us, you're talking to people who know what a Class E hard hat is, why arc flash ratings matter, and which glove actually holds up on a steel erection crew.

"Everybody goes home safe, every shift."
— Rob Hacker, Founder
