Embracing and developing an integral safety culture can greatly reduce the incident rate and severity of accidents in the workplace, while increasing employee morale and productivity. In workplaces with a strong safety culture, everyone feels responsible for safety and goes beyond the “call of duty” to identify unsafe conditions and behaviors — and to intervene to correct them.
You can have an effective safety culture when an organization's top leadership actively supports the safety program. We help uncover and understand your risk exposures, while working with you to determine the most effective means of eliminating or reducing those risks.
A safer workplace can also bring you into compliance with OSHA’s requirements and increase the likelihood of a penalty-free audit. OSHA has been increasing the number of inspections, as well as the size of the fines they assess. We’ll help you make sure your prepared for an audit and pass inspection.
Our safety specialists have degrees in safety management, risk control and engineering, with real-world industry experience. They have worked with hundreds of employers across all industries to build the critical intellectual capital necessary to answer your questions, and provide solutions that actually work. Through in-person interactions or our safety hotline, our team is ready to help you:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to protect employees that are reasonably anticipated to come into contact with blood or certain body fluids.

The construction industry continues to face ongoing challenges related to supply chain delays and product availability due to COVID-19. Dodge Data & Analytics, a leading provider of commercial construction project data, recently reported that the construction materials cost index increased by 6% in the month of April alone, more than the average annual increase. Dodge also reported the anticipated timeline for return to normal stockpiled inventory could be as long as another 18-24 months. Historically, skyrocketing material costs and product shortages were addressed through contract contingency; in current market conditions, this method is proving inadequate to address the monthly cost increases of construction materials.
