The key roles played by Health and Safety Consultants are to:

1. Evaluate Workplace Safety

One of the primary tasks of Health and Safety Consultants is to assess workplace safety. They evaluate existing safety-related policies and training programs. Moreover, they offer professional help, support, guidance and advice on any elements they find need improvement or attention.

Depending on the terms of their contracts; Health and Safety Consultants can perform periodic inspections of the workplace.

They:

• check the personal protective equipment (PPE) provided to employees for suitability and if it meets legal standards
• inspect if all required legal signs are properly placed throughout the workplace.
• ensure electrical equipment has appropriate lockout/tag-out signage so employees cannot turn it on while repairs are in progress.
• Once consultants make their initial inspection, they must provide a list of safety issues to the management team.
• Along with the list, they provide a list of specific procedures the management team can perform to remedy problems.

2. Develop Safety Manuals

Health and Safety Consultants create a workplace safety manual. Working with the management team, the safety manual details the company's role in maintaining workplace safety.

Specific plans, such as fire escape routes and evacuation drills are included in the manual. The manual might also specify the type of training each employee is required to undergo. The safety manual often becomes part of the human resources packet. It should be given to all employees to help them follow proper safety procedures on the job.

3. Provide Safety Training

• Safety consultants offer training to employees in a variety of safety concerns. For example, a consultant might demonstrate the proper use of a fire extinguisher to office workers.
• He might train employees on the proper use of equipment and machinery such as forklifts and cranes.
• The initial workplace safety evaluation often indicates what type of safety training is best for a particular workplace environment.

After all the employees receive the necessary training, the consultant might spend additional time with a designated employee giving them additional training so they can teach the safety lessons to any new hires.

4. Investigate Incidents or Accidents

Safety consultants may also be brought into a business in response to accidents that have occurred on site.
They investigate the circumstances leading to the accident, as well as the incident response and post-incident follow-up.

Health and Safety Consultants use their knowledge and skills to help reduce injuries, accidents and health problems in the workplace. They apply their communication skills when writing reports or dealing with employers. Having a good knowledge of health and safety legislation is a vital requirement for Health and Safety Consultants.
