The United States Department of Labor funds Health and Safety consultation services for small businesses in all 50 states. In Colorado, consultation services are provided through Colorado State University. Our program is committed to providing comprehensive safety and health solutions for small businesses throughout Colorado.

Free Services we Offer to Qualifying Small Businesses

• On-site safety and health audits
• Health and safety program review and assistance
• Assessments of health and safety management practices
• Health and safety training and education
• OSHA compliance assistance
• Workplace air and noise monitoring
• Technical guidance and information
• Printed materials on occupational safety and health

Using our free consultation service, employers can find out about potential hazards at their worksites, improve their occupational safety and health management systems, and even qualify for a one-year exemption from OSHA inspections. We can help the small business owner cut medical expenses, reduce injury rates, and lower workers compensation costs.

The service is delivered by employees of Colorado State University, all of whom have advanced degrees in occupational safety or health and over five years experience in the health and safety field. Most consultations take place at your facility, though training sessions away from the worksite are available. Services are confidential and completely separate from OSHA enforcement. No fines, citations, or penalties are issued. Your only obligations are to set aside the time necessary for an evaluation and commit yourself to correcting serious safety and health hazards.
