Consulting Services
We understand that companies have many different styles of Safety Management Departments. Some companies have a complete safety management system in place that can handle all safety compliance issues. Other companies are a bit more limited in terms of personnel availability. Class One can provide individual Consulting Services can create a complete package of services that helps its clients comply with Federal and State regulations.
Additional services are available beyond those listed below. Please check with us if you need a service that you do not see listed below. If we do not provide a service directly, we can often direct you to an associate who does.
Injury & Illness Prevention Plan
Your company needs an Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP) to lay out its basic safety policies for all company staff as well as visitors and clients. This should be a very simple plan and give your Safety Management Department a tool by which they can effectively manage the safety concerns of your company.
Ergonomic Evaluation & Plans
If employees are suffering repeated back injuries from improper lifting or if employees who spend long hours on the computer are suffering from neck or wrist pain, perhaps your company can make a few changes to the work environment to minimize these injuries. A combination of Ergonomic Evaluations and a written Ergonomics Plan might be helpful in facilitating these important changes.
Respiratory Protection Program
A Respiratory Protection Plan will lay out the types of respirators and other protection measures your company employs to minimize employee exposure to airborne contaminants that pose a risk to employees via inhalation.
Personal Protective Equipment Plan
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) include the items worn by personnel that are designed to protect them from various hazards in the workplace. Your company should have a plan which outlines when and where PPE should be worn on the job and what types of equipment are available to employees at your company.
Hearing Conservation Plan
Once your employees are exposed to average noise levels above 85 Decibels any company must have a Hearing Conservation Plan. This plan will detail training requirements, as well as hearing testing protocols for employees. It should also explain the protection measures your company will take to minimize employee and visitor exposure to excessive noise.
Hazard Communication Program
Any company which has ANY hazardous material on-site must have a Hazard Communication (Haz-Com) plan, which explains to employees and visitors the types of chemicals your company has as well as your company’s policies for maximizing the safety of working with and around these chemicals.
Emergency Action Plan
An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) details what employees and visitors to your company should do in the event of fires, earthquakes, and other emergency situations.
Emergency Response Program
If your company expects its employees to respond to Haz-Mat Emergencies, your companies must not only provide training for your employees, but also have a written Emergency Response Plan, which explains proper protocols for the response.
Training Management
Your company should have REGULAR safety meetings; we recommend at least once every month. If you need help determining the topics that should be covered and how best to schedule those sessions we can help.
Confined Space Program
A confined space is one which someone can enter, has limited means in or out, and was designed for something other than human occupancy. A Permit-Required Confined Space has an additional hazard which poses a serious risk of injury to employees or visitors. If you have these types of spaces, you need a Confined Space Plan. If you are unsure if you have any of these spaces, we can help you identify them.
Safety Inspections
Safety Inspections are a critical tool to help you determine where your company is strong in safety precautions as well as areas where your company needs improvement. We can help with this process by providing very basic Evaluations or more in-depth Inspections.
Lockout-Tagout Program
If your employees work on or around any equipment which may, through release of electrical, kinetic (movement) or pressure or substance-related (materials in piping or other containers) energy you need a Lockout/Tagout Plan.
