OSHA Consultation Services

Limited assistance is offered to help companies comply with OSHA’s rules and regulations for specific processes or areas of concern. The Oklahoma OSHA Consultation program will identify physical hazards (such as machine guarding or chemical exposures) and evaluate technical programs (such as lockout/tagout or hazard communication) within the scope requested by the company.

Limited service assistance:

• Safety, which includes fire protection, emergency action, electrical, machine guarding, confined space, material handling, lockout tagout, PPE, flammable and combustible storage, powered industrial equipment(forklift, aerial lifts, etc),and other areas;
• Health, which includes chemical exposures, noise, ventilations, air contaminants, or blood borne pathogens, and other areas;

Full-service assistance is for companies that want help in meeting OSHA’s requirements for the entire facility. The Oklahoma OSHA Consultation program will: 1) identify physical hazards throughout the facility; 2) evaluate all technical programs; and 3) review the safety and health program management. Recommendations will be made on how to correct physical hazards and improve both the technical programs and the safety and health management system.

For all types of assistance, the Oklahoma OSHA consultant must use the same identification and classification procedures as an OSHA compliance officer would. The employer must agree beforehand to correct all hazards identified by the consultant and provide written verification of the actions taken to correct serious hazards within a reasonable time frame.

For participants in this program, Oklahoma OSHA Consultations typically provides the following services:

• Walk-Through Surveys to assist businesses in achieving “in-compliance” status with federal regulations and standards.
• Surveys of Work Practices to pinpoint causes of injuries or illness.
• Noise Measurements to evaluate noise exposure and assist with hearing conservation programs.
• Air Sampling and Analysis to measure contaminants such as dusts, fumes, gases, and vapors.
• Evaluations of Technical Programs such as Lockout/Tagout, Confined Space Entry, Hazard Communication, Respiratory Protection, and others.
• Safety and Health Management Systems development assistance.
