Safety Assessments
Even the most experienced safety teams benefit from an outside perspective. Workplace conditions change, regulations evolve, and blind spots develop over time. KTK Health & Safety Consulting LLC provides thorough, objective assessments of your job-site conditions and safety program identifying compliance gaps, unaddressed hazards, and opportunities to strengthen your overall approach to workplace safety. Our certified safety professionals bring an independent, expert eye to your operations and deliver clear, actionable findings you can put to work immediately. Whether you need a compliance baseline or a full program review, we have an assessment option to match your needs.
Basic Mock-OSHA Compliance Audit
Every strong safety program begins with a solid compliance foundation. Without that foundation, efforts to build more advanced safety initiatives will struggle to gain traction. KTK’s mock-OSHA compliance audit gives you an honest, expert-led look at how your operations would hold up under an actual OSHA inspection before an inspector ever walks through your door.
Our certified professionals conduct a thorough review of your operations, including injury and illness recordkeeping, mandatory inspection logs, required written programs and procedures, and training documentation. We evaluate compliance with programs such as emergency action plans, lockout/tagout, hazard communication, confined space entry, and respiratory protection, among others. We also examine your physical workplace for conditions such as machine guarding, fire protection, emergency egress, fall prevention, electrical safety, walking and working surfaces, and equipment hazards.
Following the audit, you receive a confidential written report detailing every deficiency we identify, along with specific recommendations for corrective action. Our team remains available to guide you through the implementation process. Employers who complete a mock-OSHA audit with KTK leave with a higher degree of regulatory compliance, a safer workplace, and a stronger defense against potential citations and injury costs. Take that first step and schedule your mock-OSHA audit with KTK today.
Advanced Safety & Health Program Assessment
Full OSHA compliance is a necessary starting point but it is not the finish line. Research and experience consistently show that organizations can meet every applicable regulatory requirement and still experience costly accidents and injuries. That is because many of the activities most effective at preventing workplace incidents go beyond what OSHA explicitly requires.
Our advanced program assessment looks deeper with our consultants evaluating whether your organization has successfully built and sustained the key elements of a truly effective safety program elements such as a functioning accident investigation process, documented job hazard analyses, a contractor safety management program, meaningful supervisor involvement, and employee-driven safety activities like safety committees, incentive programs, and behavioral safety approaches. Where gaps are found, KTK can assist with developing, modifying, or fully implementing those program elements. Because when these components are in place and managed well, your safety program stops being reactive and starts being proactive.
SHARP / VPP Readiness Assessment
OSHA’s Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) and its Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) represent the highest level of recognition a worksite can achieve for safety and health excellence. Acceptance into one of these programs is a meaningful distinction and a meaningful process. Before applying, you need to know exactly where you stand.
KTK’s SHARP/VPP readiness assessment provides that clarity. Using a structured evaluation matrix that numerically scores your current program readiness across all required elements, we show you precisely where you qualify and where you need to improve before applying. Importantly, this entire process takes place privately and confidentially, without any government agency involvement.

Not every safety concern requires a site visit. If you have a specific question about a hazard, a piece of equipment, or a regulatory requirement, KTK’s virtual assessment service provides fast, expert input without the cost of on-site consultation.
