How can Spooner’s Safety Consulting Services help your company?
Mock-OSHA Inspections
Our safety experts can visit your workplace to perform a thorough inspection to uncover potential citations. Your management team will be provided a customized, confidential action item report as a follow up.
Business Acquisition Due Diligence
The due diligence process of acquiring a new business should include an investigation of the workers’ compensation, OSHA, and overall safety-related risks of that business. An in-depth review by Spooner can give you peace of mind, knowing there won't be any risk-related surprises after the ink dries.
VSSR Investigations
Violations of a Specific Safety Requirement (VSSRs) are specific to the State of Ohio. The violations are determined by an Ohio BWC investigation, and are in addition to any OSHA penalties that may be levied for the same issue. VSSRs are not only costly, but they are sometimes defendable. Spooner’s safety professionals are routinely engaged by companies and their legal counsel to investigate the potential for a VSSR claim or the defensibility of one.
OSHA Informal Conference Preparation/Representation and OSHA Complaint Responses
OSHA has come and gone, and you've been issued citations. What now?
Our team of safety experts routinely assist clients in navigating what needs to happen after being issued an OSHA violation. A thorough, professional complaint response could reduce and possibly even eliminate costly fines for non-compliance. Let the experienced safety professionals at Spooner put our expertise to work in defending your company at OSHA informal conferences, preparing OSHA complaint responses, and reducing fines.
Hazard Risk Assessments
Spooner will identify any hazards or risk hazards that pose potential harm to employees, analyze and evaluate the associated risks, and help you prepare a plan of action to eliminate the hazards and/or control the risk, if the hazard cannot be fully engineered out.
Ergonomic Evaluations
Spooner will investigate ways to improve processes to remove the risk factors that lead to injuries and allows your employees to improve performance and productivity.
Serious Incident Investigations and Litigation Support
We provide expert, confidential investigation services including expert witness testimony and litigation support. Employers and their attorneys often make Spooner one of their first calls following catastrophic accidents to document the root causes of an accident. Fines from OSHA, an Intentional Tort Lawsuit or a VSSR can be costly, and getting ahead of it is always your best bet.
Spooner investigates and documents their findings immediately after an injury and stands by their report by providing expert witness testimony in court, in defense of any lawsuits and fines.
New Equipment Reviews
It would be a mistake to assume that just because equipment is new, that it's safe and OSHA compliant. Spooner’s safety professionals will review the new equipment to ensure it's not only safe for employee use - but also compliant with OSHA regulations.
