Olde South Consultants have teamed with a national consulting company, OHMR, to help guide our clients through OSHA's High Risk Inspections.  In 1999, OSHA targeted "High Hazard" worksites that they will inspect in the coming 2 years.  This site has been designed to see if you are on the OSHA hit list, and to allow companies to prepare for the upcoming inspection, and limit any possible fines.  The initial strategic response plan costs as little as $95.00, and is specifically tailored to your company.
