Did Your Company Receive a

High-DART-Rate letter from OSHA?

A high DART (Days Away, Restricted, Transferred) rate is costly to your company in both personal and financial terms. You can address the high DART rate at your establishment by contacting USF SafetyFlorida to obtain assistance in addressing hazards in your workplace.

Our service is free and confidential. There are no fines even if problems are found. By helping you identify hazards in your workplace, we can work together to find effective and economical solutions for eliminating or controlling them. In addition, we can assist you in developing and implementing a safety and health management system for your workplace.

Please request a free onsite consultation. Our mission is to help employers profit from a safer workplace.

Helping employers profit from a safer workplace.

Using Our Comprehensive Safety Management System

Our mission is to save lives and reduce workplace injuries and illnesses. Your mission is to protect your workforce and profit from your business. Together, we can help you profit from safety.

Workplace accidents are caused primarily because of human behavior. Worker behavior creates hazards as well as the injuries caused by hazards. While it’s easy to focus on the hazards, worker behavior is a management issue.

Our comprehensive safety management system helps you manage the worker behavior that eliminates both physical hazards and unsafe acts. We encourage you to invite us to be your on-site consultant for a day and give us an opportunity to work with your company. At no cost to you. We tour your worksite to identify physical hazards. But we do not limit our service to noting hazards and advising how to meet OSHA safety standards.  We also help you develop a safety management system that educates employees to understand that their own behavior can be the worst hazard -- or their greatest protection. The American worker, motivated by safety, can compete with the best in our global economy. Safety, therefore, is at the heart of your profits.

Taking our consultation advice to heart can reduce the hazards and change the behaviors that cause accidents and injuries. This helps lower your costs for workers’ comp and increases your profit potential.

We look forward to hearing from you. Click here to request an on-site consultation.
