In order for employees to work safely, a company needs to have a written set of guidelines and expectations for employee conduct at work. Our policy manuals outline the legal expectations for your company, as well as the expectations of your clients. Our policies are created to comply with ISNetworld requirements, but are also customized to your company to eliminate having inapplicable information cluttering the manual. The manual, if complied with, also qualifies for both discount programs offered by Wyoming Workers’ Compensation. This means that a total of 15% can be saved from your workers’ compensation payments.

While the policy manual covers everything the company is required to do, it can be bulky and parts might not apply to specific employees. To supplement the main manual, CS Consulting can also provide for you with employee handbooks. These books have only the information the employees need to know. All of the administrative requirements and inapplicable information are removed so that employees can have a condensed version of the policy manual for their own reference whenever they need it.

The first step in creating a safer worksite for employees is identifying what hazards exist and determining what can be done to mitigate these hazards. Our consultants are trained to conduct onsite hazard assessments to identify as many OSHA violations as possible. When violations are identified, they are presented with the OSHA code that outlines legal expectations, as well as possible corrective actions or solutions. This method of presentation is designed to give you all the information you need to correct hazards to avoid OSHA citations should they inspect your worksite.

In addition to helping you meet your legal requirements, our consultants can also help you go beyond OSHA compliance. In addition to the OSHA violations shown in reports, we also will put in recommended changes. These topics bring up ways of making the workplace safer in situations where the law is met but safety could still be improved.

The report we create satisfies OSHA’s requirements for an assessment of worksite hazards and also for an assessment of what PPE can be used and should be used. The findings and recommendations for both assessments are put together to make one document that has all of the information you need to reduce or eliminate exposure to hazards.

No matter how thorough a company’s safety program is, there is always a potential for incidents. The ultimate goal of all incident investigations is to prevent recurrence and mitigate hazards. CS Consulting’s accident investigation team focuses on gathering facts, rather than assigning blame. The team is also certified to perform root cause investigation. CS Consulting works to provide effective corrective actions for all incidents, in addition to trending incidents to find overarching problems.

CS Consulting offers 4 levels of incident investigations.

• Level 1 investigation is simply the tracking of incidents. Our incident investigation team utilizes a tracking program that allows for effective trending of incidents. To perform this level we receive an incident report for the responsible party and input the data into our system.
• Level 2 investigation adds on an interviewing process. In performing this level of investigation, we still receive the report from the responsible party, but our investigators contact the responsible party and any witnesses to develop more accurate information and more details for tracking and reporting.
• Level 3 investigation has the investigator performing an onsite investigation. This investigation has the investigator analyzing the incident site for information, as well as having a face to face interview process with the responsible party and any witnesses. This, again, adds additional accuracy and details to the tracking and reporting.
• Level 4 investigation is an actual root cause investigation. It follows the same procedures as the Level 3 investigation, but adds the root cause process to find the underlying issues that resulted in the incidents.

In addition to investigating incidents, CS Consulting provides incident trending and proactive incident prevention. Incident trending is an analysis project that utilizes data from previous reports and investigations to determine recurring problems and underlying issues. This project requires quality, complete data from incidents going back at least several months; however, a few years of data is preferable. By finding these issues, a company can work on addressing the source of their problems, rather than the problems themselves.

Proactive incident prevention works toward the same end. The idea behind proactive incident prevention is to utilize the root cause process on systems, rather than incidents. By using this process on a system or method, companies can identify problems in the way they do things without having incidents point out the problem areas. The root cause process is used to follow through the entire system or method to identify areas where the system or method needs improvement. This ensures that when methods are utilized in the field there will not be any safety issues with the actual process.

Fire Extinguisher Inspection, Recharge, Installation & Training

One of the most important investments you can make for your property is a fire extinguisher.

Keep your family, employees, and personal belongings safe by installing fire extinguishers that follow state fire codes and regulations.

Fire Extinguisher Inspection & Testing

While the NFPA 10 requires that you inspect your fire extinguisher monthly, there are additional inspections and tests that need to be completed, including:

• Six-Year Maintenance – Every six years, stored pressure fire extinguishers that require a 12-year hydrostatic test need to be emptied and put through a thorough examination of mechanical parts, extinguishing agent, and expelling means. Our team is trained to provide you with the six-year maintenance your fire extinguisher requires.
• Hydrostatic Testing – Hydrotests are completed to ensure the fire extinguisher tank will hold the stored pressure extinguishing agent. The test is performed by filling the container with water or another non-compressible fluid that is compatible with the fire extinguishing container. The container is inspected for potential failure points by increasing the pressure on the container to a point specified by the manufacturer or federal safety standards. The pressure must be maintained for at least 30 seconds. Allow our knowledgeable staff to perform hydrostatic testing on your fire extinguisher to ensure it is prepared to keep you, your building, and your occupants safe should a fire ignite.

Any problems found during an inspection must be corrected immediately. Our team can determine whether your fire extinguisher can be repaired or if a replacement fire extinguisher is needed. Contact us to  schedule your fire inspection today!
