Safety Record Keeping
Proper record keeping is an essential function of your safety program. The OSHA 300 log must be filled out properly and timely. If accidents or injuries are placed on the log and they were not required, this can impact many different areas including Workman’s Compensation premiums. OSHA log violations are ranked #2 on the OSHA Top 20 Violations list. For those clients who have taken advantage of our complete safety training programs, we will assist them with answering any questions they may have when completing this very important document.

Proper record keeping is an essential function of your safety program. Learn how to properly maintain the OSHA 300 log and save your organization thousands of dollars. We have conducted over 150 classes for over 1000 companies, and have trained over 1500 employees.
Facility Inspections
One component of the Safety program includes the facility inspections. These are conducted on a quarterly basis. A trained safety professional will inspect the entire facility. These inspections are designed to help identify potential safety hazards with equipment, production areas and written programs, which could be cited during an OSHA inspection. The report is kept in the strictest of confidence. Recommendations will be made on how to make your specific site safer for all.
OSHA inspections are prompted by a number of events, such as:
- Reported imminent danger at a workplace. An OSHA inspector will drop everything, including an ongoing death investigation, if a report is received that implies imminent danger at a workplace. The inspector is hoping to prevent a possible death or serious injury.
- Fatalities or catastrophes. When a workplace has a fatality or a catastrophe that requires the hospitalization of multiple people, an OSHA inspection is prompted.
- Employee complaints. OSHA may send an inspector to follow up on an employee complaint, or the agency may just send a letter requesting information from the employer
- Referrals from other agencies. Other government agencies or inspectors can prompt an OSHA inspection.
- Targeted facilities. OSHA has programs that track accidents, injuries and illnesses. OSHA uses this information to target facilities in high hazard industries or individual facilities that have a high injury or illness rate.
We have been through many OSHA inspections with our clients, and on average save them more than 70% on fines, not including what we save them by having a pro-active safety program. On the average we save our clients at least half the money of our contracts and in many cases we save them more money than we charge.
