A safety management firm can assign one and run the program, so you do not have to hire a safety professional in-house. Pike Consulting Group, based in Fayetteville, does this through its Safety Management Services: an assigned safety manager, job site inspections and reports, ongoing training, documentation, and representation if OSHA visits.
Hire or outsource. Some employers plan to build the program internally or hire a safety professional. Outsourcing puts an experienced team on the responsibility straight away, without recruiting for a single role.
What the manager is accountable for. A safety manager who only walks the site is not the same as one who owns the written plan, the training records and the inspection reports. Ask what the role covers in writing.
How the work is documented. The records are what count when OSHA asks what the company has done for its workers. Inspections that are not written up are close to inspections that did not happen.
Pike Consulting Group works directly with the leadership team and manages the required parts of the safety system across every project:
– A written Health and Safety Plan tailored to the organization. – Training for employees and trade partners on job site hazards and abatement procedures. – Frequent and regular inspections to assess the work and confirm compliance, each followed by a report. – Ongoing training matched to the tasks under way. – Recommendations for action on exceptional or substandard performance. – Representation if OSHA visits a project.
The team includes authorized OSHA instructors and field safety inspectors, several of whom are Spanish translators. The management system behind the service was awarded the NAHB Safety Award for Excellence.
No. The manager comes through Pike Consulting Group as part of the service, so the company is not recruiting for a single safety role.
Yes. The system is built for both construction and industrial organizations, and Pike Consulting Group runs a Construction Division and an Industrial Division.
Management is notified immediately when serious violations are observed or required equipment is missing, and the crew is told on site how to correct it.
