On-Site Staffing - RSP Program
In order to overcome serious gaps in environmental, health, and safety programming, resulting from corporate down-sizing, OSEA developed the Resident Safety Professional (RSP) program.
Resident Safety Professionals can be utilized as full time employees or on an as needed basis.
Why not hire my own Site Safety Officer?
A full time employee costs money from the salary to health care it adds up; OSEA's safety officers only work when you need them. A full time employees knowledge, experience and resources is limited where as OSEA's safety professionals are backed by our corporate office which consits professionals from all fields in the safety and environmenal realm.
The RSP Program is a unique arrangement to provide Industrial, Manufacturing and Construction clients with qualified and experienced OSEA consultants, on a contract basis, to serve as resident experts on safety and/or environmental affairs.
OSEA’s RSP program is superior to other staffing programs because, upon placement, the RSP is supported by an extensive staff of professionals in 3 Regional Offices that act as a corporate regulatory affairs department for the client. A wide range of safety and health training curriculums, agendas, and multi-media support allowing immediate initiation of programming provides the client with broad technical and regulatory expertise.
Other unique features of OSEA’s RSP Program are the following:
- A thorough selection and approval process to identify, meet, and exceed client staffing needs.
- Flexible contract periods ranging from 3 months to 2 years.
- OSEA’s established Administrative System to handle Human Resource functions such as direct billing, payroll & direct deposit, federal and state taxes, and insurance coverages.
The RSP program provides a single expert resource to assure a client’s compliance with local, state and federal regulations, and more importantly, to protect employees and financial resources.
With an OSEA Resident Safety Professional, you gain a staff professional supported by a corporate safety department. The RSP program offers you flexibility and depth of service. Using programs, guidance, technical assistance and human resources support supplied by the OSEA Corporate office, the RSP will be able to effectively manage the day-to-day EHS activities of your organization.
OSEA has placed both intermediate and long-term resident professionals to support and maintain EH&S programs a number of facilities in the U.S. and overseas. The following is a list of companies/projects that have utilized OSEA’s RSP program.
A typical RSP program will begin with a comprehensive audit of the following items:
- Facility/ Site operations
- Work practices
- Safety programs
- Job hazard analysis (JHA’s)
- Safety committee activities
- Accident and workers’ compensation costs
- Training initiatives
- OSHA Accident/Injury logs
- Safety incentive program
- Incident Investigations
After the above tasks are completed, an action plan will be developed to correct identified deficiencies, develop an active safety program, and assure compliance with Federal and State regulations. Correcting deficiencies will be done through this task based plan with recommended activities such as the development of :
- A thorough written safety program
- Site specific training matrix and programs to support your training needs
- On-site safety training, including Supervisor Training
- More thorough incident investigations
- Regular safety audits
- Safety incentive program
- Tracking of related accident and workers’ compensation costs, etc.
This action plan will be designed to achieve compliance, reduce accidents and injuries, improve safety programming, decrease COGS, increase ROI and turn your Safety Department into a Profit Center.
