FAQ

Answers to common safety questions.

Questions about construction safety consulting, OSHA compliance, training, and working with Greenberg Safety — answered.

A safety consultant conducts site inspections, reviews your safety program for gaps, delivers toolbox talks and formal training, manages OSHA documentation, investigates incidents and near-misses, and provides supervision during high-hazard operations. We work alongside your team — not as a compliance officer sitting in a trailer, but as an active presence in the field.

Staffing companies place bodies. We provide experienced safety professionals who are accountable for outcomes — zero incidents, clean OSHA logs, documentation that holds up under inspection. Our team holds active certifications (SHEP, CHSO, CSP, BCSP) and has direct field experience on complex construction and industrial projects. We also offer consulting engagements, not just placements.

Both. We work with subcontractors who need safety support for a single project, mid-size GCs who need an outside safety review before a client audit, and large contractors who need embedded safety staff across multiple sites. The scope is flexible — we can be a one-day inspection or a full-time project presence.

We walk the site with a structured inspection protocol covering fall protection, excavation and trenching, scaffolding, electrical, struck-by and caught-in hazards, PPE compliance, housekeeping, and site-specific hazards. After the inspection, you receive a written report with findings, photographs, applicable OSHA standards, and prioritized corrective actions. We can also be present during an actual OSHA inspection to support your response.

We deliver OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour courses for both construction and general industry, as well as site-specific safety orientations, competent person training (excavation, scaffolding, fall protection), first aid/CPR, and custom toolbox talk programs. Training can be delivered on-site, in person, or in a blended format.

Yes. We conduct thorough incident investigations that go beyond immediate causes to identify the systemic failures — supervision gaps, program deficiencies, training gaps — that allowed the incident to happen. We document corrective actions, assist with OSHA 300 log compliance, and can represent you during an OSHA inspection or citation process.

Yes. While we're based in Austin, we work with construction and industrial teams nationwide. We've supported projects across Texas and beyond — including water/wastewater infrastructure, commercial construction, and industrial facilities. Travel and remote engagement options are available depending on project scope.

A PTP is a daily hazard assessment completed before work begins on a specific task. It identifies what work is being done, what hazards are present, what controls are in place (PPE, permits, equipment checks), emergency contact information, and requires a crew sign-in. A completed PTP creates a documented record of hazard awareness — it protects workers and protects the employer. We provide a free, field-tested PTP template on our resources page.

For most engagements we can mobilize within a week. For urgent needs — a project that's just been cited, a site that's going live tomorrow — call us directly at (512) 585-7070 and we'll work with your schedule.

Our core focus is construction and infrastructure, but we also work with water and wastewater treatment facilities, manufacturing, retail construction, and energy sector projects. If your team operates in a high-hazard environment and needs safety program development, staffing, or compliance support, we can help.
