Frequently Asked Questions / Comments

We have designated a current employee to handle safety - in addition to their regular duties.

Answer: That's great, we don't propose to take his/her place, but instead, help you and that person work together
better. Do you honestly expect this "part time safety officer" to be able to keep your company safe from OSHA
fines and provide the employees information on how to do their jobs safely, while still doing their "regular" job?
There are thousands of regulations to which you may be subject and a part-time effort may not be enough. We
have a full time staff working at this, and it remains one of our greatest challenges.

In addition to quantity of regulations, there is the issue of employee training. We have qualified people who
effectively perform this highly valuable service as well as integrate the implementation of this into each particular
safety program. This is a very specialized task, and it requires a specialized knowledge. If your "safety officer" is
not qualified in these areas, maybe EHS Associates could help you.

This sounds very expensive.

Answer: Yes, I am sure it seems that way, if the only component considered is the on site safety inspections.
However, the program is all inclusive, besides the on-site training, you receive all of the written programs that
OSHA requires, as well as the updates as they come into effect. It also includes Safety Committee Training,
new employee safety training, form & report completion and:
