Safety doesn't have to be complicated - it just has to work for you.
With 15+ years of experience leading safety efforts across industries, I focus on helping teams understand why they work the way they do — and how small changes can lead to safer habits that stick. I believe safety works best when it’s clear, consistent, and something everyone can take ownership of.
Whether you're a small business owner, a hands-on supervisor, or just someone who wants to protect their team, you’ll find tools, training, and straight-talk here that actually fit your workplace — no corporate jargon, just real solutions.
Let's Get to Work
My name is Nancy Lewallen and I’m a Certified Safety Professional with over 15 years of experience in safety, industrial hygiene, and OSHA compliance. My background includes leadership roles across manufacturing, warehousing, and Department of Energy (DOE) sites — where I’ve managed teams of over 70 safety professionals and implemented health and safety programs that work in the real world.
I hold a Master’s degree in Occupational Safety and Health and a Bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, with a strong foundation in psychology. I’ve also served as an Industrial Hygiene Consultant for Tennessee OSHA and am an authorized OSHA General Industry Trainer.
At Down Home Safety, I focus on keeping safety simple, practical, and people-first — helping small businesses and frontline teams build habits that keep folks safe and operations running strong.
