Applied Solutions Consulting

Applied Solutions Consulting focuses exclusively on workplace safety and OSHA compliance for Vermont businesses. Our founder brings 20 years of experience from both industry safety management and regulatory compliance roles. We understand the challenges facing small to medium-sized businesses trying to maintain safety standards while controlling costs. Our client-centered approach means we don't just identify problems – we provide realistic solutions that fit your budget and operations. We've helped dozens of Vermont companies achieve compliance without disrupting their core business functions. From family-owned manufacturers to growing tech companies, we adapt our expertise to meet each client's specific needs and circumstances.

We provide complete OSHA compliance solutions starting with comprehensive workplace safety audits. Our assessments cover everything from ergonomic hazards to chemical safety, documenting findings with clear photographs and specific regulatory citations. We identify both immediate dangers and long-term compliance gaps, prioritizing issues by risk level and regulatory importance. Our safety program development services create customized written programs that actually get used rather than sitting on shelves. We develop injury and illness prevention plans, emergency procedures, and safety committee structures tailored to your workforce size and industry. Employee training programs cover topics like hazard communication, personal protective equipment, and emergency response procedures. We also conduct specialized fire safety assessments including evacuation planning, equipment inspections, and staff training on proper emergency procedures.

We start every engagement with a detailed discussion of your business operations, current safety practices, and specific concerns. This helps us tailor our assessment to your actual needs rather than applying a generic checklist approach. Our on-site evaluation includes employee interviews to understand real workplace practices, not just written policies. We document findings in a comprehensive report with photos, regulatory citations, and specific recommendations. Implementation support includes helping you prioritize corrections, develop training materials, and establish ongoing monitoring systems. We provide follow-up consultations to ensure implemented changes remain effective.

Applied Solutions Consulting serves the greater Burlington area including Chittenden, Washington, and Lamoille counties. We regularly work with businesses in Westford, Essex, Williston, South Burlington, and Montpelier. Our service area extends throughout central Vermont, with project-based services available to businesses in other regions of the state.
