IOSHA's Consultation & Education offers no-cost and confidential services to small- and medium-sized businesses in Iowa. Workplaces with high risks receive priority. Consultation services are separate from enforcement actions. Services do not lead to penalties or citations. Consultants partner with employers to:
- Identify dangers in the workplace
- Provide guidance to help follow OSHA standards
- Help create and improve safety and health programs
Consultation Service Requests
We would suggest a complete review of your company's safety and health conditions and programs, however, you many request any of the following:
- Hazard identification through an on-site visit focusing on Safety or Health
- Review of written safety and health programs and training
- Review OSHA 300 logs to spot trends in injury and illnesses
- Workplace air and noise monitoring
- Technical guidance and information
Employers can request on-site consultation services using the request form. Consultation service requests are confidential, as well as any results. Employers must correct any serious hazards identified promptly.
