PA OSHA Consultation
Free Safety Consultations Make Big Impact on Businesses
Employers can get a free workplace safety evaluation by signing up for a program run by IUP’s Safety Sciences Department.
Through the Pennsylvania Occupational Safety and Health Administration Consultation Program, IUP consultants conduct occupational safety and health evaluations and work with business owners to address issues.
The on-site visits are confidential since the program operates independently from Occupational Safety and Health Administration's regulation enforcement. (The exception would be if an employer refuses to correct an imminent and serious hazard in a reasonable amount of time, although this is extremely rare.)
Thousands of businesses, from factories and laboratories to retail stores and residential/commercial construction projects, have used this no-cost program to protect their workers and make sure they are complying with OSHA regulations. Submit your request to get on the list. The dates fill up fast.
