Everybody’s a Safety Inspector

You may have seen an OSHA compliance officer conduct an inspection of your job site. OSHA’s inspectors are highly trained professionals who can recognize and evaluate hazards in the workplace. They can enter and inspect a job site as part of their general duties, or in response to a specific complaint. Their objective is to reduce hazardous conditions on the job to make your workplace safe.

Accident Investigation

You don’t plan on having an accident. An accident is defined as an unplanned or unexpected event. It may include people, equipment, vehicles, property, or the environment.

Accidents are followed by investigations to find out why they happened so that we can prevent them from happening again in the future.
