Why Hire a Third-Party Safety Consultant vs. One In-House?

For many companies, a third-party can provide expert safety help without the costs of a full-time hire. At RiskWise, we offer flexible safety solutions—from written safety manuals and safety programs to OSHA compliance guidance. Our products are tailored to meet your needs, making third-party support a smart, effective choice.

 A third-party safety consultant offers substantial advantages for many businesses, including: 

1. Increases Savings 

Working with a third-party safety consultant offers a unique advantage: the ability to scale services up or down, based on your business needs. Unlike hiring full-time employees with fixed, long-term costs, partnering with a safety consultant allows you to adjust the level of safety help as needed—whether it’s for occasional guidance or comprehensive safety management. This way, you only pay for as much or as little help as your business requires, making it easier to keep safety on track without the extra overhead.

2. Eliminates Training 

Bringing on a new employee requires time and resources for training. It takes time for a new hire to acclimate to their position. In contrast, a third-party safety consultant is already skilled in providing safety help, therefore eliminating the need for training. This significantly shortens the onboarding process, thus benefiting managers and allowing projects to start sooner.

3. Provides Access to a Team of Safety Experts

In times of uncertainty having access to experienced professionals is invaluable. By partnering with a third-party company for your safety needs, you are gaining the experience and expertise of a dedicated team. Our team at RiskWise provides expert guidance during incidents, audits, or safety violations. This broad range of expertise can support your company in periods of uncertainty.  

4. Offers an Objective Perspective 

The employees at your company likely share the thoughts and interests of your organization. They may be predisposed to certain ideas and beliefs that could limit fresh approaches to safety. With a full workload, they may also struggle to tackle every item on the safety to-do list. A third-party safety consulting company, such as RiskWise, can bring an objective perspective when analyzing your current safety processes. This provides an unbiased assessment of your safety practices, helping to identify overlooked risks.

5. Increases Efficiency

Outsourcing a third-party safety consultant, like RiskWise, enables you to delegate non-essential functions to specialized experts. By transferring these responsibilities to us, your team can focus on core functions, leading to improved productivity and efficiency. With our years of experience, we come equipped with established processes that streamline your safety efforts to enhance the overall efficiency of your business.
