RESQ Service Safety Consulting

Why Should You Use a Consultant?
Consultants can provide many services that may be of value to your organization, such as:

Specialized Expertise
This is often thought to be the only reason to hire a consultant. It is one of the most common. When you need expertise to handle an issue within your organization that is not available from in-house personnel, a consultant can be used to deal with the issue. It is impossible for most organizations to maintain a staff with expertise in every area they may need. This is particularly true for projects or issues, which come up only occasionally.

Specialized Resources
Specialized resources may also provide the justification for using a consultant. It is often not cost effective for an organization to purchase specialized resources that are not going to be used frequently. A consultant, specializing in a particular area, can afford to obtain many resources particular to that discipline.

Experience
Some issues may arise infrequently. This does not allow much opportunity for in-house personnel to gain experience in handling these issues. A consultant, by working with many organizations, can gain a great deal of experience in solving a special type of problem.

Time Required
Timing is often a problem that a consultant can help solve. If your in-house staff is too busy to handle an issue, a consultant can be used to fill the gap. Consultants may also be able to complete a particular project faster than your in-house staff. If a consultant specializes in a particular type of project, it is logical that they should be capable of completing projects in that area faster than your personnel who may not deal with the issues involved on a regular basis.

Inspection Service
All facility audits are done by Larry Wallace, Ph.D. Inspection Report will include printed pictures and area description, violation, specific regulation that applies, and corrective actions needed. Call for sample pages of report. VCR Tape (used to make the report's pictures) will be sent with the report. Most audits can be completed in 1-2 days and done with utmost confidence.
