FAQ
These are practical signs that a defined review or working session may help. They are not a score, and they are not a reason to skip a full-time EHS manager if your site needs one every day.
I'm Ryan L. Rinehart, Founder & Principal Consultant of EHS Concepts – The Ways of Safety. I'm a Navy veteran. I work from Springfield, Missouri, serving Springfield, Branson and southwest Missouri, with a second base in Independence, Missouri, for the Kansas City area, and on site or virtual nationwide.
Look at the written program (the binder) against the work as it is actually done. Look at who can stop the job and who restarts it, whether bad news outruns shipping news, and whether the office view and the floor view still match. A generic Hazard Communication template, rather than a site-specific program under 29 CFR 1910.1200, is another sign the binder is only a file.
Common signs: the written program does not match how your crews actually work; it is not clear who can stop the job and who restarts it; the office view and the floor view do not match; or your Hazard Communication program is a generic template rather than a site-specific program under 29 CFR 1910.1200. Those are reasons to get a defined review or session, not automatically to hire a full-time EHS manager.
It can, if you want an outside review of the program and the work as it is actually done. It does not automatically mean you need a consultant, and it does not mean you should skip a full-time EHS manager if the site needs one every day. I do not offer legal advice, and I do not promise fewer injuries or that a site will pass an inspection.
If the site needs someone on the floor every day, owning the program, training, and stop-work decisions, hire an EHS manager. A consultant can help with a review or a 90-day pilot, and the Safety Leadership Retainer can support site leaders after that work, but I do not act as the site safety manager or the competent person of record.
Start with the free Diagnose call, about 20 minutes, remote, on one named site, or use the separate free Safety Diagnostic self-check. If you already know the problem, book a $225 Working Session: one hour by video on one problem at one site.
Diagnose is free: one remote call, about 20 minutes, on one named site. The 60 Minute Working Session is $225. The HazCom Review is $2,500, remote, a site-specific review and rewrite of one written Hazard Communication program against 29 CFR 1910.1200 (construction: 1926.59).
