1. Safety personnel can leave the business and leave the Employer without continuity, appropriate systems and information to carry on with (such as a plan of what has already been achieved and is yet to be closed out).  Training and orientation of new safety personnel is time that could be better spent on safety improvements.
   
   
2. An Occupational Health & Safety consultant can tie together your existing safety practices and create a workable System for everyone or get you started on the right track from the outset.  They can also teach your Managers and Supervisors how to manage safety and share the load.
   
   
3. A Safety Consultant generally has in depth experience and vast knowledge due to exposure to a broad range of Industries, will come to you and generally has access to adequate resources and maintains abreast of ever changing Legislation.  
   
   
4. A Safety Consultant who works in a Consulting firm also has access to specific resources often including a team of professionals with varying safety qualifications and knowledge areas and can effectively and efficiently provide step by step implementation of sound Safety Principles to a high Standard.  
   
   
5. This wealth of experience and knowledge in many key areas of Occupational Safety, saves business operators and their employees thousands of hours of research and development, thereby saving time, money, claims, fines and prosecutions.  They get it right the first time, provide invaluable advice, resources and recommendations and are always on hand as required.   
   
   
6. Employees tend to act on Consultants' recommendations more readily and specific Goals and Objectives are set with milestones achieved in a set time frame.  Consultants can evoke a positive safety culture - it's about getting home safely.
   
   
7. Safety Consulting firms carry Professional Indemnity Insurance, subscriptions to relevant bodies, maintain abreast of current developments in Legislation and share effective ideas observed at other workplaces.
   
   
8. Safety Consultants understand that Safety is not your key business activity...you have a business to run and they can focus full time on your safety needs.
   
   
9. Insurance benefits may arise from working with a professional on your Risk Management programme and Employer costs are reduced as Consultants are contractors used as required (no payroll liabilities).  
   
10. A Consultant can provide quarterly or annual reviews to provide guidance to in-house safety personnel and keep your system up to date and fresh.
