The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) has updated the "Consultation Services for the
Employer" booklet.
The 18-page booklet (OSHA 3047) explains the steps a
consultant takes to employers who want help implementing an effective safety
and health program.
Primarily targeted for small businesses in high-hazard
industries or with especially hazardous operations, the free consultation
service is given chiefly at the worksite, although limited services may be
provided away from the worksite. At the worksite, the consultant will identify
any specific hazards and give advice and assistance establishing or improving
the employer's safety and health program.
Consultation is a cooperative approach to solving safety
and health problems in the workplace and is provided only upon request of an
employer. The OSHA consultation program provides professional occupational
safety and health advice at no cost, and, after receiving this assistance,
employers often realize other benefits such as increased productivity, improved
product quality and higher employee morale.
A single, free copy of the booklet may be obtained by
sending a self-addressed label to the OSHA Publications Office, Room N-3101,
200 Constitution Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20210, telephone (202) 219-4667,
(202) 219-9266 (fax).
