OSHA HELPS, SHARED BY BILL STANKIEWICZ, SAVANNAH SUPPLY CHAIN GUY
OSHA's On-Site Consultation Program offers no-cost and confidential occupational safety and health services to small- and medium-sized businesses in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and several U.S. territories, with priority given to high-hazard worksites. On-Site Consultation services are separate from enforcement and do not result in penalties or citations. Consultants from state agencies or universities work with employers to identify workplace hazards, provide advice for compliance with OSHA standards, and assist in establishing and improving safety and health programs.
This no-cost safety and health consultation program is completely separate from the OSHA inspection effort. Primarily targeted for smaller businesses, employers can find out about potential hazards at their workplace, improve programs that are already in place, and even qualify for a one-year exemption from routine OSHA inspections.
The consultation is confidential and will not be reported routinely to the OSHA inspection staff. No citations or penalties will be issued and your only obligation is to correct serious job safety and health hazards--a commitment which you are expected to make prior to the actual visit and carry out in a timely manner.
Using OSHA's no-cost consultation service lowers injury and illness rates, ultimately saving both employers and
employees from the cost of accidents while raising morale and increasing productivity rates.
The consultant will discuss your specific needs with you and set up a visit date based on the priority assigned to your request, your work schedule, and the time needed for the consultant to adequately prepare to serve you.
The consultant will start with an opening conference with you before beginning the walk through. The consultant will study your entire workplace, pointing out safety or health risks (some which may not have an applicable OSHA standard). After the walk-through, the consultant will review the findings with you before leaving. Finally, the consultant will send you a detailed written report explaining the findings and confirming any abatement periods agreed upon. They may also contact you from time to time to check your progress.
Call me anytime for any questions on this post, I love working with all you bees!!! Please be kind always, help someone in need and lets all be positive.
Best Regards,
Bill Stankiewicz

Bill Stankiewicz, \ud83d\udc1d Brand Ambassador Bill~ You show yourself to be among the "best of bees" ;~) by your gracious closing encouragements and ... What valuable information ~~!!**;~) Is this a new program? I worked in the Staffing Industry for almost 20 years as a Branch & Region Manager (left the industry in 2004) The services I worked for provided light-industrial/light technical workers ... I routinely visited & toured manufacturing facilities (this was driven by managing workers comp costs & care-concern of worker safety) I was NOT aware of the OSHA's On-Site Consultation Program (even now I can think of numerous small & medium size businesses that would benefit) The process as you describe it is proactive on behalf of the business (NOT punitive) ... it is clear & collaborative ... "The consultation is confidential and will not be reported routinely to the OSHA inspection staff. No citations or penalties will be issued and your only obligation is to correct serious job safety and health hazards--a commitment which you are expected to make prior to the actual visit and carry out in a timely manner." I love the upfront contract: a "commitment is made prior to the actual visit" ... with set timelines. I'm left with the idea that "catching people doing right things" is a win-win business model "Success is where preparedness and opportunity meet" ~Fay
