Risk Assessment

A thorough risk assessment is the foundation of workplace safety. Without it, choosing the right safety measures can be challenging—and the wrong ones could leave your company exposed to regulatory fines.

At Axcet HR Solutions, our safety consultant services include a thorough risk assessment. Our experienced health and safety consultants begin by identifying risks related to worker safety and OSHA compliance through detailed inspections and audits. We then assess the severity and likelihood of these risks, helping you prioritize the most critical issues.

Our team implements tailored controls, such as design changes, safety protocols, and updated training, to mitigate these risks effectively. And because safety is an ongoing process, we provide continuous monitoring to ensure your workplace remains compliant and safe.

Sometimes, addressing complex risks requires specialized expertise. When needed, Axcet coordinates with external professionals, like industrial hygienists, to ensure all aspects of your workplace safety are covered.

Mock OSHA Audit & Job-Site Inspections

As part of Axcet’s risk assessment, our safety and health consultants conduct a thorough mock OSHA audit to identify potential violations, such as life code safety issues, unmarked hazardous chemicals, and electrical or machine safety concerns. By addressing these issues proactively, you can fix them on your schedule and budget—before an OSHA inspection forces costly and time-sensitive corrections.

In addition to OSHA-related concerns, our safety consultant services include a thorough review of your job sites from an operator’s perspective, looking for improvements in ergonomics, housekeeping and other areas that enhance overall safety.

Our ultimate goal is to help your business comply with OSHA regulations and ensure that your employees go home safely at the end of each workday.

Safety Program Development

Safety Policy & Procedure Development & Implementation

Policies and procedures establish essential safety guidelines for workers to follow. Regularly maintained and reviewed with your employees, these policies reflect your company’s commitment to a safe workplace and help reduce the risk of on-the-job injuries.

As part of our comprehensive health and safety consulting services, Axcet develops and implements customized policies and procedures tailored to your business. We ensure these plans include critical elements like evacuation protocols, which are often overlooked in standard plans.

Emergency Preparedness

Emergencies can come in many forms – fire, tornadoes or other severe weather, flooding, extreme heat or cold, utility outages, workplace violence, robberies, bomb threats, and more.

Your small business not only needs an emergency plan but also needs preparation so the plan can be executed effectively during a crisis.

Axcet’s team of experienced health and safety consultants identifies and assesses the risk potential of possible emergencies your company may face, helps you develop a contingency plan to deal with each one, and conducts training so management and employees know how to respond and what actions to take under each scenario.

Industry-Specific Safety Training

Safety Committee Development, Implementation & Facilitation

A safety committee demonstrates that your company desires a strong safety culture and engages employees in achieving it. Workers who are on the front lines of your business every day often will be the first to see a problem.

A committee gives them a clear process for sharing concerns, offering ideas for safety improvements and refining suggestions so that initial thoughts become great ideas.

Our safety consultant services include helping your small business set up a solutions-oriented safety committee. As an Axcet client, one of our experienced safety and health consultants attends meetings, facilitating as needed to engage employees in identifying solutions and coaching leaders to be open to employee input.

A safety committee, which tends to lead to positive safety outcomes, also gets employees and management on the same page if an OSHA question arises.

First Aid & CPR Training

PPE Assessments

You may be providing your employees with personal protective equipment (PPE) with every intention of doing the right thing. However, the issues that require protective gear vary, and only an assessment will ensure that the PPE used is appropriate for your workplace.

OSHA can (and has) cited companies for not having conducted an assessment. Your small businesses can avoid that risk by using Axcet’s safety consulting services that assess the hazards at your site, such as chemical vapors, dust, rough edges, noise and others, and pinpoint the PPE mitigation needed.

Ergonomic Assessments

Minor workplace discomfort can quickly escalate into serious musculoskeletal issues, leading to medical treatment, missed work or workers’ compensation claims. Ergonomic assessments help identify these risks early on.

Axcet’s workplace safety specialists can work directly with your employees, making small adjustments that significantly improve ergonomic outcomes and prevent future problems.

Injury Investigation & Consulting

When a workplace injury occurs, conducting a thorough investigation is essential. This process helps uncover the cause and identify unsafe conditions or actions that need correction to prevent future incidents.

Injury investigations also protect your company from fraudulent workers’ compensation claims.

Axcet’s workplace safety consultants guide you through the process, from responding promptly to gathering evidence and interviewing witnesses, ensuring that investigations are conducted effectively and accurately.

OSHA Inspection, Citation, Abatement & Response Assistance

Workplace injuries have significantly declined since OSHA was established, but no company wants a surprise visit from an OSHA inspector. With Axcet’s safety consultant services, you can be well-prepared before OSHA arrives. Our team guides you on what steps to take and how to respond during inspections.

If a citation is issued, Axcet helps you understand your rights and options to minimize penalties. We assist with writing responses, determining whether to contest or settle, and, if needed, recommending an attorney. In informal conferences, Axcet can handle the presentation on your behalf.

Beyond responding to citations, we help correct violations to prevent future fines, whether that involves updating equipment, conducting training or implementing new safety measures.

OSHA Record Keeping

Most employers must comply with OSHA’s recordkeeping standard, specifically the OSHA 300 log. However, many companies are unaware of this requirement or unsure what qualifies as an OSHA-recordable injury.

Axcet’s safety consultant services include actively managing and maintaining OSHA 300 record-keeping for our workers’ compensation clients, ensuring you stay compliant and informed.

HR Solutions That Fit Small Businesses

"We are small, and as such, rarely in the eye of a payroll services company. Axcet works with our multiple entities. I want to focus on our business, and they focus on HR for me. Because we are small, I really don't want to have a 'personal' disagreement about PTO or vacation pay, so I set the guidelines, and Axcet manages them, which I love."

After Trying Others, Axcet Stands Above the Rest

We had tried two other PEOs. Both of which we left after the first year. The level of service that we were accustomed to with Axcet was not there, so we came back to Axcet truly because of the excellent service we always received. Everyone at Axcet would make us feel like we were their only client, like they were sitting there waiting for our call, always friendly and ready to help.

We started working with Axcet in 2018 and they have dramatically increased our internal productivity.

Working with Axcet is like having a robust and efficient internal HR department. They have solutions to every problem and we no longer feel lost trying to navigate the payroll landscape. If you want to streamline your business and get out of the HR and payroll weeds, then go with Axcet.
