WHY SHOULD YOU CONSIDER A CONSULTING COMPANY FOR SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE

Safety and compliance may not make you money, but nothing can affect your bottom line like failing to be in compliance and having a safe work environment.

Compliance can cost you thousands of dollars. This happens either along the roadside or when a governing agency comes in to conduct audits. Not only can your drivers receive fines along the roadside, so can your company.

An unsafe driver or employee can cost you up to millions of dollars. A company’s exposure on the highways is through the roof. People see large trucks and they see large dollar signs. Also, the driver/employee exposure to risk is also high. Workers compensation costs will also affect your bottom line in an adverse way.

A good Safety and Compliance program can help keep these costs under control and help keep your bottom line in the black. By having a Safety and Compliance program the following can be accomplished. You can eliminate unsafe habits committed by your drivers/employees. You provided them with the knowledge to avoid the pitfall and dangers that face them on the road and at your facilities. Through the Compliance program you can help your drives/employees identify what government agencies look for along the road. By doing this they know what to stay in compliance and avoid roadside fines. Also, this keeps agencies from seeing violations and the need to come to your facility to perform audits. A Safety and Compliance program will not completely eliminate costs but will keep you from incurring costs you may not be able to recover from.

The overall benefits you receive using a consulting firm include: Being a smaller company doesn’t always allow you to have a fulltime safety position, unfortunately Safety and Compliance become a secondary consideration. By using an outside firm, you can focus on keeping your customers happy by giving them the best service for your dollar.
