OSHA Consultation

OSHA standards can be a cause of anxiety and pressure for organizations, but those standards can also be the difference between success and failure - or safety and danger - for an operation. Olsen’s team of OSHA expert consultants can support your operation by giving you mock-inspections and helping you maintain safety and compliance that is essential for your operation.

The leading cause of on-the-job fatalities within the construction industry is falls from high elevations. This completely preventable reality has caused OSHA to designate the first week of May as “Stand Down to Prevent Falls” week, with participation letting companies spend time intentionally investing in the safety of their operation and the protection of their teams.
