Services

• Developing a comprehensive safety program is essential for ensuring workplace safety and regulatory compliance. Key components include:
  • Good Catch/Near Miss Reporting Program
• Encourage employees to report near misses and unsafe conditions.
• Implement a non-punitive reporting system.
• Analyze reports to identify trends and prevent future incidents.
• Provide feedback and recognition to employees who contribute to safety.
  • Hazard Communication (HazCom) Program
• Maintain a written HazCom program compliant with OSHA’s Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200).
• Ensure all hazardous chemicals in the workplace are properly labeled.
• Maintain Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals and make them accessible to employees.
• Provide employee training on chemical hazards, labeling, and protective measures.
  • Hearing Conservation Program
• Monitor noise levels in the workplace to identify areas where hearing conservation is needed.
• Conduct baseline and annual audiometric testing for employees exposed to noise at or above 85 decibels.
• Provide hearing protection devices and ensure their proper use.
• Train employees on the effects of noise and proper hearing protection techniques.
  • NFPA Standards Compliance
• Adhere to applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) codes and standards relevant to your industry (e.g., NFPA 70 for electrical safety, NFPA 101 for life safety).
• Develop fire prevention plans and conduct regular fire drills.
• Maintain and inspect fire protection equipment such as extinguishers, alarms, and sprinkler systems.
• Train employees on emergency response procedures and fire safety.
  • Program Development Best Practices
• Conduct regular workplace hazard assessments.
• Involve employees in safety program development and review.
• Establish clear policies and procedures with documented responsibilities.
• Perform ongoing training and refresher courses.
• Use data and incident reports to continuously improve safety programs.
• Ensure management commitment and adequate resources are provided.
• By implementing these elements, organizations can create a safer work environment, reduce incidents, and maintain compliance with OSHA and NFPA regulations.

• Initial Site Visit: Conduct an on-site inspection to identify potential noise sources and sensitive receptors.
• Baseline Noise Monitoring: Measure existing ambient noise levels using calibrated equipment at various times to capture typical conditions.
• Impact Analysis: Evaluate the potential noise impact of proposed activities or developments using modeling tools and compare results against relevant standards and guidelines.
• Mitigation Recommendations: Suggest measures to reduce noise levels, such as barriers, operational restrictions, or equipment modifications.
• Reporting: Prepare a detailed report outlining findings, methodologies, compliance status, and recommended actions.

• Emission Source Identification: Identify and catalog potential sources of air pollutants on or near the site.
• Ambient Air Monitoring: Collect air samples to determine current air quality status, focusing on pollutants like particulate matter, NOx, SOx, CO, and VOCs.
• Dispersion Modeling: Use computational models to predict pollutant concentrations under various scenarios.
• Health and Environmental Impact Evaluation: Assess risks posed by emissions to human health and the environment.
• Control Measures: Propose strategies to minimize pollutant release, such as process changes, filtration systems, or green buffer zones.
• Documentation: Compile a comprehensive report detailing assessment methods, results, and recommendations.

By integrating these assessments and audits, clients receive a holistic understanding of their site’s environmental performance, enabling informed decision-making and proactive management of potential impacts.
