Safety Consulting in Practice
An equity firm needed to evaluate the effectiveness of its occupational health and safety programs. They hired RETTEW to help with the audit to identify health and safety hazards, assess the current control measures, and examine compliance with Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) standards. Before the site visit, RETTEW reviewed the firm’s extensive documentation, such as safety manuals, job hazard assessments, and OSHA evaluations. During the on-site audit, potential safety hazards were identified, leading to a comprehensive final report that outlined best safety practices, risks, and compliance recommendations.
During a pharmaceutical facility’s first planned shutdown in seven years, RETTEW provided round-the-clock safety oversight for a complex three-week maintenance operation. Our team managed safety compliance for diverse work crews as they replaced electrical systems, repaired conveyors, installed air-handling units, and serviced boilers. We maintained comprehensive safety measures – from proper signage and PPE requirements to temporary eyewash stations during water system maintenance – while handling incident investigations and spill monitoring throughout the project. Our 24/7 presence guaranteed robust worker protection and supported the facility’s in-house safety team during this critical upgrade period.
A client’s power plant undergoes a scheduled shut down for maintenance twice a year for about 50 days. During these periods, the plant performs maintenance and upgrades essential for the operation of its main generating units and associated systems like water, cooling, and fan units. RETTEW, trained fully on the client’s safety requirements, was on hand 24/7 to provide safety oversight and address any site safety issues, including confined space rescue and permitting. Key projects during one shutdown included installing new pumps on the river water header, involving complex crane and rigging operations, and repairing a large, leaking filtered water tank, which required extensive internal scaffolding and specialized confined space safety measures.

As the on-site safety manager for the mechanical contractor of Philadelphia’s record-breaking 1,121-foot skyscraper, RETTEW oversaw the safe installation of complex building systems across 36 floors. Managing a team of 60 skilled workers installing miles of infrastructure, we maintained rigorous safety protocols throughout the 1.5 million-square-foot LEED Platinum project. Our oversight guaranteed continuous compliance with OSHA regulations and project safety policies, protecting workers during multiple material handling stages while meeting the exacting standards of stakeholders, regulators, and insurers.
When a large, multi-campus university faced mounting safety challenges with limited staff resources, they turned to RETTEW for comprehensive support. Our experts seamlessly integrated with their team, conducting thorough gap analyses while managing essential tasks from annual reporting to regulatory inspections. By methodically reviewing every safety protocol and compliance requirement, we helped the university maintain rigorous health and environmental safety standards across all their programs and facilities – making certain no detail was overlooked in protecting their campus communities.
