OSHA Serious vs. Willful Violations: What’s the Difference?

Safety Compliance Consultant vs Safety Compliance Certification

Demonstrating safety compliance is becoming increasingly important for contractors around the world. Global safety regulations are constantly evolving, and stakeholders –  from employees and clients to regulatory bodies – expect businesses to prioritize safety. Many contractors and industrial companies hear about safety compliance consultants and safety compliance certifications, but the difference between the two isn't always clear. 

While both safety compliance consultants and safety compliance certifications have a focus on keeping your workers safe and your contractor business in regulatory compliance, their roles are very different.

Understanding Safety Compliance: The Foundation for a Safe Workplace

The bedrock of a safe work environment is safety compliance. This means adhering to established regulations and best practices set by national or regional safety bodies. In the US, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) plays a key role in setting these standards. Similarly, Australia has the Model Work Health and Safety (WHS) Act. Certification with contractor management systems is equally important for the vitality of your business. Regulatory compliance for certification companies such as: ISNetworld®, Avetta®, Veriforce®, and PEC Premier® provides more job opportunities and exposure that help your business grow.

Safety Consultant vs Safety Certifications

Safety consultants offer expert guidance and program development, while safety certifications validate an individual's knowledge in a specific safety area. Both of these entities are invaluable for workplace safety. Contractors should work with safety consultants to help achieve and maintain their safety certifications.
