Safety is one of the most important investments we make in our workplace. After all, it protects your most valuable asset – our employees. However, safety is often taken for granted. The problem is that we cannot always objectively see our safety plan when standing in the center of it, just as we cannot see all the layout of a city when we are standing in the center of a park. This is where a workplace safety consultant can help you take a step back, look at your safety plan with a wide-angle macro perspective, and make realistic and operational decisions for improvement. So, what does a workplace safety consultant do and how can they help your workplace safety (EHS) plan?
A workplace safety consultant is a safety expert who provides expertise in regulations, procedures, and recommended work methods related to safety. They can be thought of as an objective third party who can tell you where you need to improve today, and where you can improve in the future. This is a role of great importance to businesses, as it provides a rare and crucial opportunity to evaluate their safety plan through the eyes of an expert external party. In this way, you can make improvements and strengthen the safety culture of your business before a safety incident knocks on your door or a major safety incident occurs that endangers your employees.
The roles of a workplace safety consultant vary according to the specific needs of your company, which they analyze in their safety review and work with you to tailor to the best fit for your business. Certain safety consultants work directly with construction sites, while others may work with offices.
In general, the duties of a safety consultant include:
• Evaluating safety policies, procedures, and performance in the workplace
• Providing safety training
• Developing safety guidelines
• Identifying safety problems
• Investigating Incidents
• Building area mappings
The consultant can assist at various stages of the safety process. They may help you perform preventative work by evaluating your current methods and suggesting specialized training for improvement. Alternatively, they may assist you in addressing a safety issue by investigating what went wrong and helping you train your employees to avoid similar incidents in the future.
It cannot be overemphasized the advantages of hiring a safety consultant in the workplace, no matter the size of your business. For small businesses with limited resources, a safety consultant can help utilize the company’s resources as effectively as possible. For larger corporations with a large collection of safety resources, a safety consultant can help assess whether these resources are being used as efficiently as possible.
Above all, a safety consultant in the workplace helps you pay attention to small details that you may overlook. They can help you move away from the “good enough” mindset and into productive safety thinking that prevents accidents. Even if you have an internal EHS team, a safety consultant can help them evaluate their performance and improve in the future.
Simply put, a workplace safety consultant helps you take responsibility for safety in the workplace. Our role is to take safety recommendations and put them into action, with safety management software that brings your workplace environment into one easy-to-use dashboard. Let’s make safety your strength.
