When Should I Hire a Consultant?
In the large world of safety, there is a lot of information out there so it can be hard to know what you need.
You likely need a safety consultant if you experience work site injuries, face compliance issues like an OSHA inspection failure, or have a new or complex project requiring specialized safety expertise. Consulting before a problem arises, to design and implement a robust safety program, is the most proactive thing you could do.
Here are a few specific scenarios where a safety consultant's expertise might be needed:
Cost Savings:
​
On average, employers save 10% on annual insurance premiums year over year by committing to safety. The savings are realized through onsite programs such as Safety Committees, Standardized Safety Procedures
​
And on average cost your company about $10,000 on average per OSHA recordable case. Being proactive by hiring a consultant can help reduce the occurrence of these unfortunate events.
Worksite injuries:
Even a single serious injury can highlight gaps in your safety program.
OSHA violations or inspections:
If you've received a citation or failed an inspection, it's a clear sign to seek safety guidance.
New or complex projects:
Undertaking a large or unusual project can expose unforeseen safety risks that require expert assessment.
Hazardous materials or processes:
Working with chemicals, equipment, or tasks that present inherent risks necessitates specialized safety knowledge.
Preventive measures:
Hiring a consultant will proactively help identify and mitigate potential hazards before they lead to problems. Saving headaches and ultimately, significant fines from regulatory compliance agencies.
