The Hazards OSHA Focuses On at Construction Sites
OSHA built its construction enforcement around the hazards that kill and injure the most workers. Fall protection has been OSHA’s most frequently cited standard for years, and falls remain a leading cause of construction deaths. These are the areas we help contractors control:
| Hazard | What inspectors look for |
|---|---|
| Falls | Guardrails, harnesses and anchors, covered floor openings, and fall protection training |
| Scaffolds and ladders | Proper setup, competent person inspections, safe access, and ladder use |
| Struck-by | Equipment and vehicle traffic, falling materials, and high-visibility gear |
| Caught-in or between | Trench protective systems at 5 feet and deeper, and guarding on equipment |
| Electrical | Overhead power lines, temporary power, ground-fault protection, and cord condition |
| Silica | Dust controls for cutting, drilling, and grinding concrete and masonry, and a written exposure control plan |
General Contractors Are Responsible for More Than Their Own Crews
Under OSHA’s multi-employer citation policy, a general contractor can be cited for hazards on its job site even when a subcontractor created them. As the controlling employer, you’re expected to take reasonable steps to find and correct hazards across the whole site.
That’s why subcontractor safety management matters. We help you set clear safety requirements in your subcontracts, review subs’ programs and training before they start, inspect their work on site, and document how issues were corrected. For subcontractors, we help you meet the safety requirements general contractors and owners now expect before they’ll put you on a bid list.
Where Contractors Usually Start
“We’re worried about an OSHA inspection.”
Construction sites are among OSHA’s most frequently inspected workplaces, and inspectors often stop at a site they can see from the road. A job site safety audit or mock OSHA inspection shows you what an inspector would cite, ranks it by risk, and gives your superintendents a clear list of what to fix first.
“OSHA already cited us.”
After a citation, you have 15 working days to contest it, and every hazard has to be corrected and documented by its abatement date. We help you meet each deadline, close out the citations, and fix the program behind them, because repeat violations carry much higher penalties. If OSHA is involved now, call 888-784-1405.
“An owner or GC wants our safety program before we can bid.”
More owners and general contractors require a written safety program, training records, and injury history before awarding work. We build the program and documentation you need to qualify, and keep it current so the next questionnaire is easy.

How to Choose Among Construction Safety Companies
The right construction safety company spends time on your job sites, not just on paperwork. Before you hire one, ask:
- Will they inspect our active job sites, and how often?
- Will our written program be built around our work, or is it a generic template?
- Can they train our crews on-site and document it?
- Do they help manage subcontractor safety, not just our own crews?
- Will they support us if OSHA shows up or issues a citation?

Construction Safety Consulting FAQ
What does a construction safety consultant do?
A construction safety consultant helps contractors identify hazards and compliance gaps, build written safety programs, train crews, inspect job sites, manage subcontractor safety, and respond to OSHA inspections and citations.
What’s the difference between a construction safety consultant and a construction health and safety consultant?
In practice, the terms are used interchangeably. “Health” points to exposures that cause illness over time, such as silica dust, noise, and chemicals, while “safety” covers injury hazards like falls and struck-by incidents. Berg Compliance Solutions covers both on every job site.
Do small contractors need a written safety program?
In practice, yes. OSHA expects employers to train workers and control job site hazards, and a written program is how you show that. Many owners, general contractors, and insurance carriers also require one before you can bid or get coverage.
Is a general contractor responsible for subcontractor safety?
Often, yes. Under OSHA’s multi-employer citation policy, a general contractor acting as the controlling employer can be cited for hazards on its site, even when a subcontractor created them. That’s why subcontractor safety requirements, oversight, and documentation matter.
What are the most common OSHA violations in construction?
Fall protection is consistently OSHA’s most cited standard. Other frequent construction citations involve scaffolds, ladders, hazard communication, eye and face protection, and fall protection training.
How often should a job site be inspected?
It depends on the project’s size, phase, and risk. Many contractors benefit from routine third-party inspections in addition to daily checks by their own competent persons, with more frequent visits during high-risk phases like excavation, steel erection, and roofing.
Can you help after an OSHA citation?
Yes. We help contractors understand each citation, meet contest and abatement deadlines, correct and document every cited hazard, and strengthen the program behind it to prevent repeat violations.
Do you provide construction safety training?
Yes. We provide on-site training for crews and supervisors on topics such as fall protection, scaffolds, ladders, trenching, silica, electrical safety, and hazard communication, with every session documented for your records.
How much does a construction safety consultant cost?
It depends on your company and the help you need. We offer a free consultation, one-time audits and projects, and ongoing partnerships for a fixed monthly fee, and we’ll give you a clear number after a short call.
