Yes, if you need help on one named site and you do not already have, or do not need, someone in the role full time. A consultant is not the better fit when the work needs a full-time EHS manager on site 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.
Small and mid-size employers often have a written program that does not match how crews actually work, or a supervisor who just stepped into the role. You do not have to hire a full-time EHS manager to get help on those problems. You also should not hire a consultant and expect them to stand in as your site safety manager.
Yes, when you need help on one named site and you do not already have, or do not need, a full-time EHS manager on site every day. If the work needs someone in that role full time, hire an EHS manager. A consultant is the better fit for a defined review, a 90-day pilot, or monthly support after that work is done.
Diagnose is a free 20-minute remote call on one named site. A 60 Minute Working Session is $225. A HazCom Review is $2,500. The Core 90-Day Pilot is $6,000, remote, at one named site. The 90-Day SSIM Nexus Pilot is $22,500 at one named site, on site. The Safety Leadership Retainer is $2,500 a month, sold only after a pilot or review.
Start with the free Diagnose call, about 20 minutes, remote, on one named site, or use the separate free Safety Diagnostic self-check for construction and manufacturing. The low-risk paid start is the $225 Working Session: one hour by video on one problem at one site.
No. If your site needs someone on the floor every day, owning the program and acting as the site safety manager, a full-time EHS manager is the better fit. I can help you review a program, run a 90-day pilot, or support site leaders after that work, but I do not act as the site safety manager or the competent person of record.
