Safety Consulting

York Safety Solutions can devise effective Health, Safety and Environmental plans specific to your general industry and construction site needs. The basic and necessary purpose of a current and all-encompassing HSE plan is to outline specific rules and regulations relevant to your company and facility.

The plan gives a comprehensive guideline so proper management and accountability of all health, safety and environmental issues can be guaranteed. The standards of practice outlined in a professionally designed HSE plan will outline the responsibilities of everyone involved with your facility or site, including suppliers and vendors and make expectations clear.Our HSE plans explicitly define appropriate corrective and preventative measures for various situations or issues that may arise. The health, safety and environmental plans you utilize and implement should also include detailed emergency and injury management plans. The ultimate goal of health, safety and environmental plans is to help your industry obtain an injury and accident-free status along with assisting in the creation of a reliable and sound plan to handle any emergency that may unexpectedly arise.

The health and safety industry is evolving and there are always updates and ways to improve upon any safety record. At York Safety Solutions, we can devise and implement a Health, Safety and Environmental plan that evolves when you need it to and serves to better help you reach a level of compliance you can be confident in.

Even though there are many regulations and safety and health standards that are practiced in a wide variety of general industry and construction, each job, each site and each facility have individual aspects that set them apart. This is why health and safety plans can’t be one-size-fits all. Because we understand the differences and individual needs that encompass general industry and construction, we design and implement job specific plans that can meet all of your health and safety needs.

The job specific plans implemented by York Safety Solutions can help every member of your team conduct themselves and their job under the umbrella of full OSHA compliance. The individual responsibilities and regulations that affect and pertain to a foreman on one site can be vastly different for another. There is also a notable difference in the level of responsibility and knowledge base of a new employee compared to a supervisor. At York Safety Solutions, we customize job specific plans for compliance and health and safety to meet your individual needs and requirements for all levels of employees and work environments.

For the optimal level of safety and health, along with a notable decrease in the instances of injury, accident, or OSHA citations, it is imperative that any industry obtains job specific plans from health and safety experts. The experts at York Safety Solutions can meet your industry’s job plan needs and help you achieve the highest level of health and safety excellence.

Maintaining OSHA compliance in regards to emergency plans and evacuation plans is imperative for any workplace environment.

That compliance is vital to ensuring the health, safety, and overall welfare of each and every employee. Not having a clear and properly understood plan is in direct conflict with OSHA safety and health standards. The consequences of an unclear, non-existent, or non-compliant emergency and evacuation plan can be far-reaching, even deadly.

The professional occupational health and safety specialists at York Safety Solutions can create and help your site or facility implement a clear and comprehensive plan for evacuation and emergency procedures. One common aspect of an evacuation plan specific to fire is the use of suppression devices or substances. Proper training, maintenance, and access to these materials and devices is an essential part of a compliant and clear emergency and evacuation plan. Having easy to understand expectations and recognizable alarm systems are also vital. We can train employees and properly outline the best strategy and procedures to handle any kind of fire or explosive incident.

Evacuation and emergency plans entail more than fire suppression. A detailed route and clearly defined safe areas are a necessary component to an evacuation plan also. In the event of an evacuation, every employee on every level must be aware of their expected actions during and after any given situation. This may entail communication channels and changes in hierarchy in an emergency or after workers have gathered at a safe spot.

The incidents of workplace violence have highlighted the need for clear plans of escape and self-protective measures. We can assess your site or facility and best outline a plan that can help maximize the safety and protection of everyone involved.

Some of the most common situations that necessitate an evacuation plan include:
• Fire
• Workplace violence
• Toxic leaks
• Toxic or harmful spills
• Explosions
• Major accidents
• Facility or site structural dangers
• Any kind of environmental disaster
• Air quality dangers

While there are a wide variety of reasons for evacuations and emergency plans to be executed, all emergency or evacuation situations have the same things in common; that is the fact that chaos, confusion and disorganization is the worst reaction for any workplace. Having a solid evacuation and emergency plan is not just about OSHA compliance; it’s about protecting and safeguarding your facility, your site, your equipment, and your most valuable asset—your employees.
