About Alterra Risk & Safety
Construction Experience. Safety Leadership. Real-World Perspective.
Alterra Risk & Safety was founded by Chris Morales, CSP, CHST, a construction safety professional with more than 20 years of hands-on construction experience.
Chris's background spans field construction, construction management, safety consulting, and safety leadership supporting general contractors, subcontractors, and active project teams. That experience shapes Alterra's approach: understand the work, identify the real risks, and provide clear safety solutions that can actually be implemented in the field.
Alterra provides independent construction safety consulting, jobsite inspections, supplemental safety support, training, and written safety programs throughout San Diego and Southern California.
We work alongside existing project teams and safety programs rather than trying to replace them. Whether a contractor needs ongoing support or help with a specific project, training need, or safety issue, Alterra can step in where additional expertise and support are needed.
