Why do I need a safety program?
Federal and State OSHA, Department of Labor, requires that you provide a safe work place for your employees. The Department of OSHA regularly monitors the employers’ work site, either because of an accident, complaint, or by random choice. This is to ensure that you are providing a safe work environment for your employees. If a violation is discovered, you could then be cited.

What is the difference in an insurance inspection, OSHA Consultative Inspection, and Safety and Technical Solutions inspection?
When your insurance carrier does an inspection, it normally occurs only once a year; therefore, leaving the remaining eleven months for potential problems. On the next visit, if you still have problem areas, your rates could increase. If an OSHA Consultative Service comes in, they will assist you in finding problem areas, but will give you a timetable to remedy the violations. If the violation is serious, they will follow-up to make sure it is completed on their timetable. Safety and Technical Solutions works with you on problems areas, establishes a plan of action, and a timetable for completion with follow up on a regularly scheduled program to locate all potential problems and meet the regulations.

What is the cost of service?
Safety and Technical Solutions has many services available for you. Some clients request a one-time visit. This is done on an hourly basis fee plus expenses. If you elect to have regularly scheduled inspections, safety training meetings, and safety manuals developed, that is based on a service contract.

If OSHA conducts an inspection of my facility what do I do?
Safety and Technical Solutions has helped many clients through an inspection by assisting them in remedying the written violations and making sure the guidelines are met to OSHA’s approval. Upon a visit from OSHA, it is necessary that you react quickly and promptly completing all violation recommendations. Safety and Technical Solutions is there to help your staff meet these requirements.
