But having a written program is just the first step. Once a plan has been developed, implementation is paramount. If work is being performed and the procedures detailed in the plan are not being followed, the OSHA compliance officer will issue a citation. Additional costs may include hikes in insurance premiums and workers compensation rates if accidents or injuries occur. 

At Cashins & Associates, our team collaborates with you to ensure that your written program aligns with the specific needs of your operation. All the programs we create are customized to fit within your organization's framework.
