OSHA
Represention & Citation Settlement
By having JW Rufolo and
Associates, Inc. act as your company's "designated OSHA
Representative", you ensure that your rights are protected before,
during, and after an OSHA Inspection. We have saved our
clients millions of dollars through contest / settlement of OSHA
citations and penalties.
Citation
Settlement
If you just went through an OSHA Inspection and have now received
citations and penalties, fax or mail them to us for our
evaluation. Let one of our experts review the citations for
validity and accuracy and determine the best course of action to
take. Of course, all correspondence is COMPLETELY
CONFIDENTIAL.
Facility and Jobsite
Compliance Audits
Our audit consists of having one of our expert OSHA consultants conduct
an "OSHA style" walk through of your construction site or facility,
noting all areas of non-compliance, and identifying all existing
hazards.
Program
Review
The next step is to review all existing company safety and health
programs, including "Standard Operating Procedures" and "Health and
Safety Plans" for clarity, content, and compliance. We then
evaluate OSHA 200 Logs, examine training records, and review all safety
related materials.
Written
Report
Finally, a detailed Written Report of our findings is presented to
you. This report includes results from the audit and written
program review, all OSHA standards violated, where the violations were
located, a summary sheet, and recommendations for corrective
measures. Of course, all findings are COMPLETELY
CONFIDENTIAL.
General
Health & Safety Plans (HASP's)
The primary purpose of the written health and safety plan is to serve
as an organization-wide health and safety policy that applies to all
employees of the organization, regardless of the location of the actual
site where they are working. A General Health &
Safety Plan is a Federal OSHA requirement.

Site
Specific Safety Plan
A site specific health and safety program must be developed for each
site where workers are engaged in hazardous waste operations.
The purpose of this mandatory program is to address the specific health
and safety hazards that may exist at each phase of site operations and
to identify procedures for protecting employees.
Standard
Operating Procedures (SOP's)
OSHA Standards require detailed written procedures for numerous
construction and general industry operations. Employees also
need formal training in their specific job duties. These
programs must be specific to your operations as well as comply with
Federal regulations.
The
following is a partial list of SOP's than can be developed for your
operation:
| Hazard

Confined
Space Entry |
Lockout /
Tagout |
| Fall Protection |
Respiratory Protection |
Scaffolding |

Industrial
Hygiene Services
An onsite technician can monitor for hazardous atmospheres including
toxic, explosive, and oxygen-deficient environments. These
expert technicians utilize state of the art air monitoring and sampling
equipment such as combustible gas indicators, organic vapor analyzer,
personal or area sampling plumps, and direct reading instruments.
Indoor
Air Quality
Indoor air quality concerns are a major issue in today's business
community. Hazardous conditions stemming from unclean
ventilation systems and/or poor air movement causes thousands of
employee complaints each year.
Noise
Monitoring
Generally, prolonged exposure to high noise levels over a period of
time gradually causes permanent damage. OSHA requires a
Hearing Conservation Program for all employees whose noise exposures or
exceed an 8 hour time weighted average of 85 decibels.
Soil
Sampling
Initial site characterization requires monitoring in order to identify
and determine the extent of onsite contamination. This step
is crucial in determining adequate levels of employee protection and
atmospheric monitoring strategies. Soil sampling techniques
differ with each site and records of analysis data must be recorded.
OSHA Compliance
Guidebooks
An effective way to increase your knowledge of Federal OSHA Standards
and to better understand key safety issues is to keep these practical
compliance reference guides at your side. Each guidebook
covers easy to read highlights of specific OSHA standards.
