Consulting

Today’s business environment calls for management to operate at a level of efficiency never seen before. They’re expected to operate lean yet maintaining a high level of productivity, all while trying to deliver the service or product they specialize in. Unfortunately, gaps can and will exist between what is expected and what is delivered. OccuMed exists to help organizations fill the gap between where an organization’s health and wellness plans are envisioned and actually end up. 

Why Use A Third Party Consultant?

The most important aspect of the OSHA inspection process is the citation itself. Getting a citation deleted or reclassified is the main goal in any informal conference. If you engage a qualified third party consulting company they may help you be better positioned to successfully petition for citation deletion and reclassification. When the citation is deleted, the fine becomes zero

If you cannot successfully petition for deletion or reclassification of a citation, you may still petition for a reduction in the fine. If you engage a qualified third party consulting company, it gives evidence to OSHA of your company’s commitment to improving safety. OSHA may give consideration to employers who demonstrate their commitment to safety by hiring a qualified safety company. The purpose of OSHA fines is not punitive, but to motivate the employer to put money into safety. The reduction in OSHA fines may be as much or more than 60% when the consultation plan of the qualified third party consultant is effectively communicated to OSHA.

OSHA Standards do change, and at any point in time there could be one or more standards under review by industry stakeholders and OSHA. Qualified safety companies have staff that stay abreast of changing OSHA regulations and best practices.

Oftentimes business contracts will require a third party safety consultant. This could either be to fill a need for an objective auditor, or to supply a full or part-time safety consultant on site during a project.

A third party safety consultant can help reduce overhead costs in three ways.
By hiring a qualified safety consultant you will not need to increase staff which results in increased overhead costs. Additionally, by using OccuMed’s safety consultants, you are engaging a team of safety consultants who specialize in OSHA compliance across many industries and experiences.
A comprehensive approach to loss control services can help your business limit the total cost of risk and improve your bottom line. OccuMed will work with you to develop or refine your health and safety plans, provide OSHA compliance assistance and training to your staff to mitigate areas of risk.
