It’s my experience that companies with a great safety program also invest in consultants. There is a good precedent for this. Even competent safety teams often see things from one perspective. They learn to seek particular problems and at times can miss even the most obvious problems. As a safety consultant, I never think that […]

For many years, I have been instructing OSHA safety for Greenville Technical College (GvlTec). After attending the Hazardous Waste Operations Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) course sponsored by the National Partnership Environmental Technology Education (PETE) in Davenport, Iowa in 2019, GvlTec used me for HAZWOPER training as well. Toward the end of 2019, our company earned distinction
To create a strong company culture of safety with a sense of urgency, you must think about what you say and how you say it. Once again, we must strike a balance between being perceived as overreacting or indifferent. Our message needs to reflect recognition when things are moving in a positive direction and when

Frequently, one of the most common problems I encounter regarding safety is that company leaders, supervisors, and managers don’t believe there is really a problem. When a safety person comes on board and recommends taking steps or changes, they often face opposition. Why go through all the additional steps if they’re completely unnecessary? Repeatedly, I
