Most facilities do not need another binder on the shelf. They need people on site who know the regulations, know the work and can keep the two lined up every day. Safety First Group places experienced environmental, health and safety professionals at your facility and builds a program around your location and its specific hazards.
What does an EHS consultant do on site?
Our EHS professionals work as part of your team. Depending on what your site needs, they:
- provide on-site safety experts at your facility
- conduct compliance audits
- perform a gap analysis against current requirements
- create the policies and procedures you need to achieve regulatory compliance
- conduct on-site training for employees and contractors
- monitor OSHA and EPA regulatory changes and keep you informed
- provide process safety management consulting
The result is a customized program: the right policies in place, every person on the job understanding the procedures, and your location fully compliant.
OSHA compliance audits and gap analysis
A good program starts with an honest look at where you stand. Our on-site team prepares your facility, conducts a comprehensive safety audit to OSHA standards with minimal disruption to your workflow, and presents the findings. Then we work with your team to create solutions and correct any violations, instead of handing you a list and leaving.
A gap analysis compares what you have today, from written programs to training records to field practice, against what the regulations require. It shows you what to fix first and gives you a clear plan for the rest.
Nested on-site safety staff
Some sites need a safety professional for a project or a few days a month. Others need nested safety staff on every shift. We place experienced people at your facility and scale coverage up or down with your production schedule and your turnaround calendar, up to 24/7/365.
Policies, procedures and training that stick
Audit findings only matter if they change how work gets done. We write or update the policies and procedures your site needs, then train employees and contractors on them, on site or online through our SafetyAnywhere platform.
Keeping up with OSHA and EPA changes
Regulations change, and the cost of missing a change usually shows up during an inspection or after an incident. We monitor OSHA and EPA regulatory changes and tell you what they mean for your facility, so updates are planned rather than discovered.
Process safety management consulting
If your site handles highly hazardous chemicals, OSHA’s Process Safety Management standard adds another layer of requirements. Our consultants support your PSM program alongside day-to-day safety, and our process safety team handles process hazard analyses, facility siting and the other studies PSM calls for.
