I help organizations fix the safety and compliance problems they actually have, not the ones a vendor wants to sell them. Twenty years in heavy industry taught me the difference between real risk and expensive noise.
Book a 20-minute callMost organizations don't need a full-time safety director. But they're still a covered employer under federal OSHA, they still generate hazardous waste, and they still have people working at heights, in confined spaces, and around energy sources that can kill them.
The gap between "we don't need a full-time person" and "we don't need anyone" is where people get hurt, citations get written, and an incident that should have cost nothing costs everything.
An independent, structured look at where you stand on OSHA and EPA compliance: what's working, what's exposed, and what to fix first. Written programs, a physical walkthrough, training records, and a prioritized corrective action plan. You get the honest picture, not a sales document.
Your safety program, run on a retainer. A named EHS point of contact, scheduled on-site days, programs and training records kept current, and remote support between visits. The retainer covers the predictable; event-driven work like incident investigations, regulatory visits, and new program builds is billed separately.
Train-the-trainer programs, annual refreshers, new-hire orientations, and toolbox talks your crews will actually listen to. Forklift, aerial lifts, fall protection, confined space, lockout/tagout, hazardous waste, and DOT hazmat, delivered by someone who has certified the operators, not just read the slide deck.
I came up through the floor. Production, multi-craft maintenance, then ten years as the lead EHS authority across two industrial sites. I built an environmental program from the ground up and ran it with zero material violations across a decade. I drove a plant's recordable injury rate to zero. The safety committee that made it work wasn't top-down. It was elected by the hourly employees, and I was the one they elected to run it.
Safety that sticks is culture, not paperwork. Crews tell me what's actually happening because I've done their jobs. That's where real compliance starts.
If you're not sure whether you need a full engagement or a phone call, start with the phone call. I'll tell you the truth either way.
