On-Site Safety & Health Consultation

The On-Site Safety and Health Consultation Program can help make your workplace safer and avoid OSHA penalties. 

Eligibility 

This service is designed for small employers (less than 250 employees on-site, no more than 500 employees nationwide) in high hazard industries. 

Our Free Service

Our safety and health consultants provide an OSHA-type “mock” inspection at the workplace, for free and without assessing any fines or penalties. (OSHA fines for serious hazards in Missouri now average $4735 per serious hazard.) The employer sets the scope of the visit, so the consultation may be limited to a specific work area, work phase, or can include the entire workplace. Your only obligation is to correct the hazards identified by the consultant.

During the walk through, the consultant will identify and discuss any potential hazards and suggest the best and most cost - effective solutions. Consultants also can provide training and assistance in the preparation of site-specific written safety and health programs. SIGN UP TODAY!
