About Assume Safety

Assume Safety has been protecting Bakersfield businesses for over 12 years through comprehensive workplace safety consulting and OSHA compliance services. Our team of certified safety professionals understands that every workplace has unique hazards and challenges that require tailored solutions. We work closely with companies across Kern County to develop practical safety programs that not only meet regulatory requirements but actually reduce incidents and insurance costs. Our approach combines thorough risk assessments with hands-on training to create safer work environments where employees can focus on productivity instead of worrying about hazards.

How They Can Help

Our core services include complete OSHA compliance audits, customized safety program development, and ongoing risk management support. We conduct thorough workplace assessments to identify potential hazards before they become costly incidents or citations. Our team provides comprehensive safety training programs covering everything from general industry standards to specialized requirements for construction, manufacturing, and agricultural operations. We also offer emergency response planning, safety committee facilitation, and incident investigation services. When OSHA inspectors arrive, you'll be confident in your compliance status. We help businesses navigate complex regulatory requirements while implementing practical solutions that employees actually follow. Our documentation services ensure your safety programs meet all record-keeping requirements, and we provide ongoing support to keep your programs current as regulations change or your business evolves.

What to Expect

Our process begins with a comprehensive site assessment where we identify hazards, review existing safety procedures, and evaluate compliance status. We then develop a prioritized action plan that addresses the most critical issues first while building toward full compliance. Implementation involves training key personnel, updating safety documentation, and establishing ongoing monitoring procedures. We don't just hand you a manual and walk away. Our consultants work alongside your team to ensure new procedures are practical and sustainable. We provide follow-up visits to track progress and make adjustments as needed, creating a partnership that evolves with your business needs.

Service Area

We serve businesses throughout Kern County, including Bakersfield, Delano, Ridgecrest, and surrounding communities. Our consultants are familiar with local industries from agriculture to energy production. We understand the specific challenges facing Central Valley businesses and can respond quickly when urgent safety issues arise or OSHA inspections are scheduled.
