About us: Your OSHA Compliance Partner
Our Service
We handle the entire compliance process for you. We start by auditing your facility and creating tailored program manuals specific to your operation. Once the manuals are developed, we return to implement the programs and provide on-site employee training. We also offer optional annual updates, certifications, and retraining, ensuring your programs remain current. Our goal is to handle as much of the implementation as possible, so your staff and management aren’t burdened with additional duties. If your business hasn’t developed, implemented, and maintained up-to-date safety programs, you could be at risk of costly, preventable OSHA citations and fines. During our review, we assess your exposures, select the necessary programs, and provide a written quote.
Our Cost
Program costs depend on your operation’s exposure. Purchasing multiple programs at once is more cost-effective than buying them individually over time. For example, a business with two employees and limited machinery or chemical exposure will pay less than one with 100+ employees, multiple shifts, and extensive equipment. Our program pricing is flexible, accommodating even small businesses with minimal exposure. Typically, we work with businesses with fewer than 50 employees, but we also assist larger companies, usually by supporting a Safety Director or helping catch up on overdue employee training. During our review, we assess your exposures, select the necessary programs, and provide a written quote.

Common types of OSHA inspections include:
• The targeted business has no control over initiating the inspection process.
• Inspections are not scheduled with the business.
• There is no warning to the business.
• Inspections are unannounced.
PLANNED
OSHA has targeted your business for inspection because of your industry. Because your business operates within the targeted industry, you are inspected.
COMPLAINT
When/if an employee files a complaint with OSHA they are required to respond. Complaints are confidential. The complaining employee will not be disclosed.
ACCIDENT
An employee accident or injury has alerted OSHA to your operation. OSHA inspects your operation following the accident or injury.
REFERRAL
OSHA has been referred to your business. The referral can originate from a number of sources but it is not uncommon for one OSHA inspector to refer another OSHA inspector to your operation. This can mean your business is receiving another, completely separate, OSHA inspection after having just received an initial inspection.

WILLFULL
A willful violation is defined as a violation in which the employer knew that a hazardous condition existed but made no reasonable effort to eliminate it and in which the hazardous condition violated a standard, regulation, or the OSH Act. Penalties range from $5,000 to $161,323 per willful violation, with a minimum penalty of $25,000 for a willful serious violation. For employers who operate small firms–– those with 50 or fewer employees––in no case will the proposed penalty be less than the statutory minimum, i.e., $5,000.
SERIOUS
A serious violation exists when the workplace hazard could cause an accident or illness that would most likely result in death or serious physical harm, unless the employer did not know or could not have known of the violation. A penalty of up to $16,131 for each violation may be proposed.
REPEATED
An employer may be cited for a repeated violation if that employer has been cited previously for a substantially similar condition and the citation has become a final order of the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. A citation is currently viewed as a repeated violation if it occurs within 3 years either from the date that the earlier citation becomes a final order or from the final abatement date, whichever is later. Repeated violations can bring a fine of up to $161,323 for each such violation.
