The art of the practice of occupational safety encompasses the physical hazards present in the workplace.
Electrical grounding, machine guarding, lockout/tagout and confined space entry are some of the safety issues. The most cited OSHA violations are deficiencies in the labeling, record keeping and training provisions of the Hazard Communication Standard, which operates as an umbrella-like standard for the rest of OSHA. Providing a workplace free of safety hazards always results in greater productivity, lower overhead, reduced Worker's Compensation costs and increased profitability. Whether or not enforcement activities by OSHA are a consideration, the driving force for good industrial safety practices is the same as that for business success.
Grauvogel & Associates provides the only Certified Safety Professional (CSP) consulting services in the area. The OSHA standards setting process does not always allow for the incorporation of the most current safety and health knowledge published by consensus standards groups in a flexible or timely manner. With a broader view of the practice that considers these latest consensus standards we can move your safety program beyond OSHA's MINIMUM performance standards.
