TOP SAFETY CONSULTANTS
The safety consulting industry is a small, fragmented collection of
well-established firms that provide a wide range of occupational safety and
health, industrial hygiene, ergonomics and environmental risk assessments for
employers in all industries.
The professional association for the industry, the American Society of Safety
Engineers, reports 30,000 members. Increasingly detailed OSHA regulations and
risk management techniques have pushed companies to reduce in-house safety and
health staff and rely more on outside consultants with the technical expertise
necessary for complex risk management and safety and health practices. In some
cases, consultants provide full-time on-site services for their client
companies.
Long-term contractual fee-for-service work or retainers for specific services
are common. Demand for safety and health services and revenue for the consulting
firms have softened in recent years as workers’ compensation insurance rates
have flattened and fewer new safety standards have been circulated. To enlarge the view, click on the image below.
