Safety Consulting Overview

Businesses are continuously making safety and health changes in the workplace. But when making those changes, successful employers and managers want to be sure that they really work. What were the results? Was the change an improvement? Here are some examples of positive outcomes that employers use:

• reduced employee injury and illness
• increased employee satisfaction
• improved safe work practices
• reduced absenteeism
• reduced workers’ compensation costs or rates
• increased productivity
• improved workplace air quality

Measuring the results of workplace safety and health changes benefits employers and employees because both gain confidence that the change results in a safer workplace. Since most changes occur by trial and error or in stages, information about the effectiveness of each stage is naturally helpful to the process. These changes often result in increased productivity and demonstrate that employee safety and health can be a good investment. Employees must be involved throughout the selection of safety changes and their measurement.

Penalty Reductions for Small Business

OSHA considers the size of the employer, among other factors when determining the penalty to be proposed for any violation. The Agency has always had detailed procedures in place for making this determination; they are currently in the OSHA Field Operations Manual (FOM) (OSHA Instruction CPL 02-00-148), which is conveyed to and followed by all compliance staff.
The FOM provides that proposed penalties will be reduced by the following percentages in considering employer size:
a 60% penalty reduction may be applied if an employer has 25 employees or fewer;
40% if the employer has 26-100 employees; and
20% if the employer has 101-250 employees.
