CONN-OSHA

Consulting Services
CONN-OSHA offers a variety of consulting services to both public and private employers in Connecticut. All of their consulting services are available at no charge and are tailored to fit individual employer needs. They provide consultations in the areas of safety, industrial hygiene, ergonomics, injury and illness prevention plans, and new business assistance. Each consultation visit is viewed by CONN-OSHA as an opportunity to help that employer incorporate the key elements of an effective workplace injury and illness prevention plan into the way the business is run over the long term. Additionally, penalties and citations are not issued as a result of the consulting process.
