SERVICES

KWA Safety & HazMat Consultants, Inc. meets all of your loss control needs by providing a full array of risk management services. These services include: health and safety program development, auditing, regulatory compliance program development, training, hazard evaluation, and air/hazard monitoring.

This array of services supports our clients with their commitment to environmental quality, workplace safety, and safe handling and transportation of hazardous materials. To assist in providing timely services, we cultivate proactive working relationships with federal, state and local regulators.

Healthy workers are more productive, incur lower health care costs, and have fewer worker’s compensation claims; this can mean a more productive and profitable business. Considering that OSHA, DOT and EPA routinely cite and penalize organizations for hundreds of thousands of dollars, the need to know that you are in compliance with environmental and occupational safety and health regulations becomes crucial.

Financial benefits of proactive risk management and regulatory compliance include reduced insurance premiums, fewer employee absences, reduced fines for non-compliance with environmental and occupational regulations, and increased productivity.

KWA provides solutions to reduce the hazards workers face every day: physical stresses, confined spaces, chemical exposure, emergency response, noise, heat stress, hazardous waste/material handling, construction - the list is very long. Services for our clients start by conducting a needs assessment to raise awareness to hazards that may not be readily apparent, and to review applicable regulatory requirements for health and safety and hazardous materials/waste management. We can recognize, evaluate and recommend control measures for potential hazards. Our experience further allows us to develop a client’s compliance programs and train the employees and managers with the goal of reducing risk.

KWA strives to recommend cost-effective solutions once hazards have been evaluated. Such solutions could include the appropriate protective equipment, engineering a ventilation system, or designing process modifications. We are experienced at evaluating the effectiveness of existing programs, avoiding duplication of resources, and developing and integrating safety programs within the client’s operations.
