Our 5 Step Solution© to Workplace Safety

ACS developed an innovative 5 Step Solution© to Workplace Safety that removes the fear and uncertainty of risk mitigation and OSHA compliance. In our 30+ years of assisting small to mid-sized companies in all industries across the United States, we have found that most lack the finances and staff resources to manage risk and comply with OSHA workplace safety regulations. Understanding what, exactly, needs to be done, and consistently doing it, are often cited as barriers to compliance. For instance, employers are required to maintain and document periodic safety training on a number of topics. With so many moving parts and without being an expert in safety protocols, this can be confusing.

Our 5 Step Workplace Safety Solution© acts as your company’s virtual compliance department, providing a roadmap to all that is necessary to implement, monitor and maintain compliance regardless of the state that your business is located in.

For each of these 5 steps, we provide a wealth of content to help customers achieve compliance now and in the future. This content is maintained and updated by our staff of experienced OSHA workplace safety compliance and risk mitigation experts.

01

Identify Exposures & Risks

Evaluating and identifying potential hazards on the job is a critical first step eliminating risks and potential injuries and in developing a comprehensive safety program.

02

Compliant Plans & Procedures

Many of OSHA’s most important standards require that written plans/programs be put in place. These plans/programs are required when OSHA considers a safety or health hazard to be serious.

03

Training

Many OSHA standards explicitly require employers to train workers in the safety and health aspects of their jobs. Other OSHA standards make it the employer’s responsibility to limit certain job assignments to workers who are certified, competent or qualified — meaning that they have had special previous training, in or out of the workplace.

04

Implement, Monitor & Maintain

Without a solid plan in place to maintain an effective safety program, companies can find themselves out of compliance. Monitoring is essential to determine your progress toward achieving your safety goals and provides information that may lead to necessary adjustments in the implementation of your safety program.

05

Recordkeeping

Companies need to establish a system to demonstrate regulatory compliance with state and federal occupational health and safety laws. Documentation of worker training, employee injuries, incident reports, and employee safety concerns illustrates the effectiveness and dynamics of a company’s health and safety program.

Cell Phone Distracted Driving

Workers in many industries and occupations spend all or part of their workdays on the road. One study showed that compared with other drivers, those who drive as part of their work are much more likely to be distracted. Some of the reasons this occurs is because they are more likely to be in a hurry to reach their destination, think about work, be tired, or use a cell phone.

Opioid Dependency is on the Rise in the US

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, workplace unintentional overdose deaths from nonmedical use of drugs or alcohol have increased 619% since 2011. Overdose deaths in 2022 totaled 525, equivalent to nearly 9.6% of all occupational injury deaths that year. Increases have been experienced among all employee demographics, industries, and occupations. The main driver of these deaths is opioids.

What to Do When OSHA Requests Documentation

If your company is visited by OSHA, for any reason, there is a very strong chance that they will be requesting to look at your Written Safety Plans/Programs, as well as necessary documentation for their visit. The lack of up to date and site-specific Written Safety Plans/Programs and other documentation is a leading cause of OSHA citations.

Reminder to Post Your OSHA 300A Summary

For employers who are required to maintain work-related injury and illness records, it’s that time of year again. Many, but not all, employers must complete the OSHA injury and illness recordkeeping forms on an ongoing basis. But minor injuries that are treated only by first aid don't need to be recorded.

Using ACS allows me to focus on my job knowing my business is complaint. I will never go anywhere else.”

Tom Carretta, Manager, County Line Auto Body
“Through the use of ACS’ Safety Pays program, we were able to have our safety committee certified by the State and qualify for a 5% discount on our workers’ compensation policy. This discount alone almost pays for the ACS consulting fee for our entire safety program. The Safety Committee meets monthly to keep safety in the forefront of everyone’s mind. We feel that the Safety Pays program is a valuable service that ACS offers to its clients.”

Jim Kolea, Owner/President, PennFleet Corp.
“We have been very happy with the services that ACS has provided for 20-plus years and have no reason to look elsewhere for our safety concerns. I personally strongly recommend them to any company.”
