Workplace Health & Safety Program Development

Safety Program Development

Start with the basics. Your KPA consultant will visit your facility and complete an initial inspection to identify hazards and existing control measures for safety and environmental risks. They’ll review the inspection results and assessments with your management team, and based on the issues identified, and together you’ll discuss priorities.

Regulatory Program Assistance

KPA consultants work with you to develop the required written programs for compliance with federal and state safety regulations. Depending on the program, KPA will provide policies, customized guidelines, online and on-site training, and regularly scheduled follow-up visits to ensure you are in regulatory compliance. KPA offers program development and implementation support in the following areas:

• Emergency Response Program
• Emergency Action and Fire Prevention Plan
• Fall Protection
• Hazard Communication Standard
• Heat Illness Prevention Program
• Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (I2P2)
• Personal Protection Equipment (PPE)
• Powered Industrial Trucks (Forklift)
• Respiratory Protection
• COVID-19 Safety Awareness
• Wildfire Safety Program

Record Keeping

The success or failure of regulatory inspections often falls on how well a company’s managed its safety and environmental recordkeeping. For all the benefits EHS software provides, some data is just easier to store in paper format. Take hazardous waste manifests or PPE fit testing documentation as examples. KPA customers consistently rely on their consultants to provide EHS documentation best practices that keep their organizations out of regulators’ crosshairs.

When companies have a strong record keeping process, regulatory inspectors have one location for the documentation they may be looking for.  For many regulators, organized and up-to-date compliance documentation will prompt a less stringent facility inspection.
