OSHA Compliance:
|
|
OSHA compliance doesn’t have to be difficult, or expensive. Unfortunately, for many organizations OSHA compliance is not considered a core competency. The regulations are numerous, sometimes confusing and usually not taken seriously until an employee is hurt or an OSHA auditor arrives at your door. Each year OSHA assesses fines in excess of $155 Million for non-compliance issues. Don’t be caught in non-compliance. The risk is great and the cost of compliance is small.
The Carlyle Consulting Group is an authorized OSHA trainer industry. We have on staff OSHA specialists that are able to conduct both 10 hour and 30-hour OSHA training classes. In addition to OSHA training here is a list of other OSHA related services we provide:
Post Inspection OSHA Negotiations
Starting January 1, 2002, OSHA’s record keeping requirements have changed. Even if you are familiar with OSHA’s old requirements, these changes could result in thousands of dollars in fines and an unwanted OSHA presence. The good news is that the new requirements are not difficult to implement, once you know what OSHA expects. We can help you weed through all the confusing state and federal regulation. We can even automate the record keeping process for your organization.
OSHA requires that all employers have a written, effective safety program that addresses hazards specific to the employers operations. Putting a plan of this nature together usually means long hours of sifting through confusing regulations. The Carlyle Consulting Group solves this problem by consulting with our clients and developing just the right plan that keeps you in compliance. This safety plan can serve as the foundation for decreased employee injuries, workman’s comp costs and increased productivity, at a cost less than you might expect!
Recent surveys performed by the Carlyle Consulting Group find that most building managers are ill equipped to successfully complete an OSHA audit. In fact 78% of the facility managers surveyed were missing one or more of OSHA’s basic compliance requirements. Obviously the best time to recognize and correct safety issues is before an OSHA audit. In fact, employers are required to conduct regular safety inspections and keep those inspections reports on file for five years.
The Carlyle Consulting Group can conduct on-site inspections of your facility and offer suggestions based on the issues OSHA is likely to issue citations. Additionally, if an on-site audit is not feasible, we can provide you with a comprehensive audit package that your employees can complete in-house.
OSHA regulations state that employers are required to provide employees comprehensive and specific training that addresses hazards in the workplace. This training must be performed on a regular basis and records of training must be kept for five years. The Carlyle Consulting Group develops and supplies self-administered training packages for our clients. We are OSHA authorized trainers and can provide both 10 hour and 30-hour OSHA cards. If preferred, we can provide targeted on-site training for our clients as well. Either way, we can take the worry and confusion off your shoulders.
Post Inspection OSHA Negotiations Upon completion of an OSHA inspection, you will receive a package which includes detailed information about the auditor’s inspection including any citations or fines that were levied. Employers are strongly encouraged to request a follow up meeting with OSHA. Your goal is to eliminate or reduce the fines. The Carlyle Consulting Group is available to perform this post inspection negotiation for you. This one decision can save you thousands of dollars in fines!
