Norman Safety & Health Consulting LLC

Partnering to manage workplace exposure

I formed this company to help companies manage employee safety and health exposures. I focus on creative, pragmatic, sustainable solutions to workplace safety and health challenges.  ​

• Creative – blending my experience of best practices to find a customized solution that exceeds cookie-cutter basic compliance.​
• Pragmatic – keeping it simple and addressing core program elements without added fluff.​
• Sustainable – leveraging existing business process or developing organizational procedures to support ongoing exposure management activities. 

Safety support includes a wide range of activities to identify and control exposure to hazards that could cause worker injuries. ​ “Safety” topics tend to focus on physical hazards that could result in immediate injuries if not properly identified and controlled.

Safety Consulting Support Examples Include:

• OSHA Compliance Audits and Inspections.
• Written Safety Program Development such as AWAIR, HazCom/Right to Know, Respiratory Protection,  Emergency Action Plan, and more
• Job Hazard Analysis and PPE Assessments.
• Written Lockout Tagout (LOTO) procedure development, Confined Space Evaluations, etc.
• Safety Training ​for Respiratory Protection, Lockout Tagout, Hazard Communication, and more.
• Safety Committee Coaching

OSHA has extended the national emphais program for heat stress through 2025. Employers should have heat stress management plans in place for any work that occurs when the heat index is 80 deg F or above.

Contact me if your organization needs help developing and implementing a heat stress management program.

Respirators are critical pieces of personal protective equipment for protecting worker from uncontrolled airborne hazards.  A respirator user must be trained, medically approved, and fit tested before wearing a respirator.  ​Fit Testing is the process of evaluating how well the respirator seals to the users face to provide proper protection. 

Quantitative fit testing for any type of respirator is performed using the TSI PortaCount™ Respirator Fit Tester following the OSHA Ambient Aerosol Fit Testing Protocol.​

Qualitative fit testing using saccharin or bitrix ® solution can also be performed for half and full face air purifying respirators.

Contact me to discuss flexible options to conduct initial or annual respirator fit testing for your employees.
