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.
