We are not just OSHA consultants, we are partners in developing and enhancing your safety program at all levels to promote a culture of safety within the organization. We help companies save money and mitigate risk through written safety program development and safety manuals, on-site hazard elimination, behavior-based safety programs, customized safety training programs and workers compensation claims management. 

Many companies find themselves in need of a safety consultant in their infancy and as they continue to grow.  Hiring a safety consultant gives companies the benefit of the services of a seasoned safety professional without the cost of a full-time employee.  This approach allows for the company to scale up and down as its business needs change, but still ensure that it maintains focus on a safe workplace for its employees. 

 When a company employs the service of a full-time safety director, they may quickly discover that the person in that role is so busy that he or she can use an extra set of hands to write programs, eyes to look at job sites and ears to understand the direction of the safety culture.  A safety consultant can be an excellent fit to assist here because they can fill the gaps as needed and provide the required services in a responsive manner.  The ability to be in two places at once means that one can conduct training while the other finalizes a JHA for an upcoming project.  This model allows for the flexibility to scale up or down as the situation fits. 

There are several advantages of hiring a safety consultant to help manage construction safety for your company.  Briefly, this list includes:

1. Cost – because these services are not typically delivered 40 hours a week, 52 weeks of the year, you pay a fraction of the cost of a full-time safety professional.
2. Continuity – with many people on the team and multiple people involved in rendering services for your company, any turnover experienced can be much less painful as there are multiple team members that know your company’s procedures and have visited your sites for construction safety inspections.
3. Expertise – Safety consulting companies typically employ people from many different backgrounds and with a variety of educational experiences. This translates to safety consultants who have seen a wide variety of environments and can bring that experience to bear on the challenges that construction companies are facing in today’s ever-changing, fast-paced environment.  The depth and breadth of experience that a consultant may have and the industries that they have worked with may allow them to bring unique ideas to the table when problem-solving on the jobsite.
