Comprehensive Safety Program Audits

Our safety audits are a thorough, disciplined, and structured approach toward evaluating management systems, the work force, as well as the physical property or plant itself. As a result, we try to relate the strengths that we find and utilize them in the possible solutions to any weakness or deficiencies also found to be present. A comprehensive written evaluation of our findings will be furnished upon completion, along with a management meeting to discuss these findings and suggested recommendations.

Certified Hazardous Assessments

Written Hazardous Assessments point out potentially dangerous situations and controls them before an accident occurs, especially those dangers present in routine work. They also influence many aspects of workplace safety.

According to the revised "General Requirements" under CFR 1910.132 personal protective equipment, the employer must document and verify that a certified hazard assessment has been performed through a written certification that identifies the workplace evaluated, the person certifying that the evaluation has been performed, and the date of the assessment. This assessment must identify the hazards to the employees, relating to their jobs, tasks, operations or equipment use, the body part affected by the hazards, and the suggested personal protective equipment to use. We can provide you with this certified written document.

On Site Safety Meetings

Our safety meetings are structured to suit your particular industry, current operation, or any particular safety topic you may desire. The meetings will be designed and delivered to instruct your employees on how to perform jobs productively, efficiently, and safely. They will address the particular hazard recognition and control procedures as well as the use of required personal protective equipment.

These meetings can be conducted at your workplace, or the job site. The meetings can be held anytime and anywhere.
