Charlene Vespi, MS.Ed., CWCP, USF SafetyFlorida Program Manager

Whether you're a business owner or safety manager, you can both agree that worker protection has enormous benefits. And worker protection--reducing injuries, illnesses and fatalities on the job--is the primary mission of the USF SafetyFlorida Consultation Program. By helping businesses develop and implement a safety and health management system, your employees remain safe and healthy, your company will experience lower workers' compensation costs and everyone will feel safe and secure going to work each day.

Our safety and health consultants are your key to achieving these benefits. They follow high and consistent standards for helping employers protect their workers. These standards, along with their years of consultation experience, will help you build a workplace safety system that unites all the elements of leadership commitment and job task procedures. With a workplace safety system in place, you can meet production goals while maintaining the health of the whole employee family.

To assist you in developing a workplace safety system, our consultants focus on management commitment, employee involvement and participation in order to establish a safety and health management system that works best for your business. Helping employers develop a safety management system gives us great satisfaction. That’s because, in the short term, our service can provide the hazard identification that directly prevents an employee from getting hurt or killed. Safety and health hazards in the workplace can be an indicator of deficiencies in the overall management of an establishment. They can also be a symptom of management problems, as simple as a lack of knowledge or as bad as a total disregard for worker safety.

If our consultants find hazards while performing a consultation, we will provide you with a detailed list of those hazardous areas. But we will go beyond that to help you understand why the hazards exist and what specific actions can be done to address each hazard. This level of thoroughness is what employers find so helpful about our consultation program. We are more than about hazard identification but about helping you find hazard solutions that can create a new opportunity to profit from safety.

In summary, our primary purpose is to help your company prevent work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses. In the short term, we do that by emphasizing hazard identification. In the long term, we do that by helping you develop a safety management program. Hundreds of companies already have used our SafetyWriter, which helps employers develop a written safety plan. And we have the Sunshine State Safety Award and SHARP OSHA- inspection deferment programs to acknowledge and reward companies that have top-of-the-line safety management systems in place.

If you are ready to take the next step toward safety in your business, please contact us today and request a free and confidential safety consultation.
