What if we don’t have any safety experience??
No problem, our program is built for "non safety experts!" GUIDED COMPLIANCE removes the complexity from OSHA compliance so your team can build & manage a safety program even if you know nothing safety
How long does it take to build a safety program?
It depends on the size of your company and your operations, but if you follow our schedule & recommendations, your safety program should be built within 6 months and then you'll transition to "management mode." We recommend building 1-2 components each month, so that the program is manageable for your team.
Does generic on-line or CD training meet OSHA and EPA standards?
No. All employee training must include and address your company specific health and safety hazards and requirements. No generic training resources meet these standards.
Are we compliant if we have a written safety manual?
Not necessarily. Just having a written OSHA compliance manual doesn't equal compliance. First of all, the manual must be customized to address your company specific health & safety hazards, and there are also many aspects that the company must actively manage including training, inspections, procedures, exposure evaluations and more.
How do we determine which environmental, health and safety laws apply to our company?
Your company must assess its operations to determine which EHS regulations apply. Each company has a very unique set of hazards and risks which must then be managed by applicable OSHA, EPA & state environmental regulations.
Can we outsource our OSHA compliance to our insurance company?
No. This one of the most common myths surrounding OSHA compliance. It is impossible for your insurance company (Workers Comp carrier) to manage your safety program because they have no mandate to do this, lack the bandwidth to manage OSHA compliance for any single policy holder, and can only offer generic resources which don't meet OSHA standards.
