Body
Safety consultants are hired by companies, government agencies and consulting firms to help businesses address safety concerns that could potentially affect employees, customers and the general public. They work in a variety of settings, from mines to factories to construction sites.

Examine work site

Safety consultants look for biological, chemical, physical or radiological hazards in the workplace. They also look for sources of potential injury to those at or near the location. Additionally, these workers make sure that businesses put safety equipment in place and maintain it once it is set up.

Investigations

If an accident occurs, safety consultants will investigate the situation to look for safety violations. They also will determine how to correct safety problems.

Predict Hazards

In addition to finding and solving problems, safety consultants predict problems by calculating risks and examining data from safety records, as well as industry data.

Conduct Safety Inspections

Safety consultants can conduct safety investigations for the companies themselves or they can do so for government agencies to determine whether a business is meeting required codes and safety procedures.

Occupational Hazards

Safety consultants may find themselves in dangerous situations as part of their work. When inspecting locations or exploring the workplace, they may encounter areas that are unsafe.
