Since the turn of the century we have witnessed a disproportional increase in disasters—courtesy of Mother Nature or forces of evil. From hurricanes to terrorist attacks and from snow storms to floods, many businesses—especially in the Eastern states—have awakened to this new reality the hard way. In a contained workplace emergency the preservation of life and limb may be the only concern but in a larger scale disaster it is clear that protection of vital business infrastructure is of paramount importance. Indeed, many businesses remain closed for good following a major disaster because they were not properly prepared. That is precisely why you need to have a custom-tailored disaster preparedness plan in place which consists of emergency response and business continuity.

Emergencies at the workplace are unpredictable, whether it`s an isolated incident or large scale disaster. That being the fact, you have little time to act, yet less margin for error. As an employer, you have the obligation to familiarize yourself with mandatory safety regulations; as an employee, you are exposed to hazards every day on the job.

Legend Safety can assist you with chemical and environmental hazards that may be present at your facility. Legend Safety can provide quality service in the following areas of environmental analysis: air, dust and environmental monitoring, plant noise monitoring, surveying in asbestos, wastewater & solid waste, soil and landscape, microbiology and radiochemistry.

Legend helps its clients with employee testing needs by coming down to the client’s facility to conduct these tests, including: respiratory fit testing, pulmonary functions tests, audiometric testing, etc. Research indicates that workplaces with proper hearing conservation programs have higher levels of worker productivity and lower incidence of absenteeism. OSHA requires that if an employee`s hearing test (audiogram) reveals that the employee has experienced a work-related Standard Threshold Shift (STS) in hearing in one or both ears, you must record the case on the OSHA 300 Log. The only way to know this is by testing your facility’s noise levels and testing your employees for noise exposure.

Ok, so you had a safety audit, your site is hazard free and you have a robust safety training program in place. Is that all?. Certainly not. Safety is a company-wide commitment and without the proper compliance infrastructure in place your training will in time prove to contributing little to safety in the workplace.

Had a recent run-in with OSHA? We at Legend Safety understand that it’s difficult to run a shop, keep up with payroll and accommodate all of OSHA’s requirements, (while others in your industry outsource to foreign countries and enjoy lax labor laws.) That is why we try hard to mitigate our client’s OSHA penalties. We believe in what we do and do it quite well.
