Contracting out any safety services that you require for the ongoing operation of your plant is one of the best ways to ensure that you find the best, most qualified individuals for those positions. A reputable safety staffing agency will ensure that only those resumes that are suited to the open position you have are sent over, helping you to make a confident decision that you have found the right person, or people, for the job. Whether you’re currently planning a turnaround, or have other safety needs that need to be addressed, finding contract services is the best way to have these matters dealt with by experts. Here are a few guidelines to keep in mind if you’re wondering when to contract safety staffing services.
At Least Six Months Before A Turnaround
Safety experts agree that the best time to consider your staffing needs is well in advance of any planned maintenance or a turnaround. Most industry leaders advise anywhere from six to eight months before a turnaround is an ideal time to hire your safety team. This gives the safety staff time to assess the plant, familiarize themselves with your operations and procedures, and to make any safety recommendations before the turnaround begins. In some cases, certain recommendations may need to be in place before the project begins.
Whenever You Are Understaffed
Of course, situations may arise where you are in dire need of staffing. This may be due to illness, employee changes, or terminations at your plant, and will result in safety staff being required on very short notice. While giving your safety team more time to evaluate and familiarize themselves with your plant and its operations is always a good idea, sometimes things don’t work out that way. In these situations, contact the safety staffing agency as soon as possible so that you can find a replacement before the project begins.
After An Accident
Despite the best of intentions and being well-prepared, accidents and emergencies do happen. It’s always a good idea to contact a reputable safety staffing agency and have them send someone over to evaluate the situation and to make recommendations that you can put into place to prevent the same accident from occurring again.
