Safety & Compliance Program

Our comprehensive safety management system is designed to protect workers, minimize risk, and maintain the highest standards of regulatory compliance.

Our Safety Philosophy

At Catalyst Works, safety is not a department — it's a core value embedded in every aspect of our operations. We believe that every workplace incident is preventable, and we have built our entire organization around that belief.

Our safety program is led by Certified Safety Professionals (CSP) and Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH) who bring decades of experience from high-hazard industries. They work directly with our staffing partners and placed workers to ensure every placement meets or exceeds safety standards.

We maintain a proactive approach to safety management: identifying hazards before they cause harm, training workers to recognize and avoid risks, and continuously improving our processes based on industry best practices and lessons learned.

Safety Performance Metrics

0

Workplace Injuries on Record

We maintain a perfect safety record with zero workplace injuries. This reflects our exceptional safety protocols, proactive risk management, and unwavering commitment to protecting every worker we employ.

0.8

Total Recordable Incident Rate

Our TRIR is well below industry benchmarks, demonstrating the effectiveness of our safety training, hazard identification, and incident prevention programs. We track and analyze every incident to drive continuous improvement.

0.2

Days Away/Restricted/Transfer Rate

Our DART rate reflects the severity of workplace injuries. Our low rate indicates that when incidents do occur, they are typically minor and do not result in significant lost work time.

100%

Training Compliance

Every placed worker completes required safety training before their first day on the job. No exceptions. We maintain detailed training records and ensure certifications remain current throughout employment.

Our Safety Leadership Team

Our safety program is led by credentialed professionals with extensive experience in occupational health and safety management.

Certified Safety Professionals (CSP)

Board-certified by the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP), our CSPs have demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of safety management principles, hazard recognition, and regulatory compliance. They oversee our safety program development and implementation.

Certified Industrial Hygienists (CIH)

Our CIHs specialize in recognizing, evaluating, and controlling workplace environmental hazards. They conduct exposure assessments, recommend control measures, and ensure compliance with OSHA permissible exposure limits.

OSHA-Authorized Outreach Trainers

Authorized by OSHA to deliver 10-hour and 30-hour training courses, our trainers ensure all placed workers receive comprehensive safety education. They stay current on OSHA standards and incorporate the latest regulatory updates into our training programs.

Field Safety Coordinators

Based in the field, our safety coordinators conduct regular site visits, perform safety audits, and serve as the primary point of contact for safety concerns. They build relationships with client sites and placed workers to promote a culture of safety.
