How do you keep up while remaining competitive?

Network Safety Consultants can help!

Regulations change.Costs increase.

Accidents happen.

Every

b u s i n e s s

must manage risk

and regulation in order

to survive. Accidents,

OSHA compliance and the

demands of escalating insurance costs —

most organizations have little time to tackle

these concerns, but no business can afford to ignore

them. Like an undiagnosed illness, unanswered safety

issues erupt at the worst possible time, causing the greatest expense.

Tip #1

Choosing a SafetyConsulting Service:

The first step is deciding exactly what

you want a safety consultant to

deliver. Look for services that

demonstrate direct and measured

results to your bottom line by showing

how reductions in accidents can

control costs and risk.

A safety consultant should provide

concrete examples of return on

investment, as well as analysis of your

current safety environment. If you

don’t get an answer in precise dollar

savings, keep looking for another

option.

Evidence of professional liability

insurance is also a prerequisite for a

legitimate safety consultant:

Make sure that an active

policy provides at least $1

million in coverage.

Tip #2

Safety ConsultantQualifications:

If you were sick, you would not want to be

treated by someone with little medical

training and no practical experience. Yet

many businesses trust their safety programs

to consultants with nominal education,

background and hands-on experience.

When you choose a professional safety

solution, look for providers who have a

successful track record of developing and

implementing safety programs within the

same industry as your business. Ask for

references and contact information on

current and previous customers in your

industry.

The best safety professionals possess

advanced degrees in occupational health

and safety — the most qualified possess

peer certification and recognition as a

Certified Safety Professional™.

Reviewing the resumes of the team

assigned to your safety issues confirms

their experience and qualifications.

As many other employers do, I attributed most of the accidents

we experienced to a lack of common sense, especially since we

provide safety training, safety equipment and a state-of-the-art

facility. Network Safety Consultants has shown me how

programs designed to establish responsibility and accountability

for safety can actually cause change in behaviors resulting in

fewer accidents and injuries.

Tip #3

The Most Effective Approach:

Many safety consultants focus almost

entirely on OSHA compliance, but the

best safety consultants also target

accident prevention and cost reduction.

A blend of services and expertise should

address all aspects of an organization’s

risk, with a custom solution based on

successful methods answering all of the

specific safety needs of the client.

An effective safety professional will find

the best way to integrate these safety

processes in day-to-day operations: The

end result of a correct safety approach is a

competitive advantage in the marketplace

for the client.

Behavioral Approach

We emphasize the human element involved in themajority of all accidents. This approach focuses onidentification and correction of behaviors likely to resultin accidents and is the most fundamental element of asuccessful safety program.

Tip #4

Thoroughness andEffectiveness

Every piece of material related to your

business’ safety plan — from e-mail to

safety audit reports — could become

critically important for future

management of an accident. The

work product of a safety consultant

should be concise, accurate and

professional in appearance.

Safety needs to be a daily part of your

ongoing business operations, and an

effective safety solution will help you

develop a culture of safety in all areas

of your organization, raising it to the

same level of

importance as

productivity and

quality.

I first retained Network Safety Consultants services as CEO of a

previous employer. Shortly after being hired as CEO of Performance

Stamping, I contacted Network Safety Consultants to provide similar

services. As before, they have proven their value through programs

which have reduced accidents, improved employee morale and

reduced costs.
