Bob Herzig & Associates

Bob Herzig & Associates has been providing practical workplace safety solutions to Kansas City businesses for over two decades. We focus on straightforward, cost-effective approaches to OSHA compliance that work for real-world operations. Our experience spans manufacturing, construction, healthcare, and service industries. We believe effective safety programs don't have to be complicated or expensive. Our team helps businesses develop sustainable safety cultures through practical training, clear procedures, and ongoing support. We're known for our hands-on approach and ability to work within tight budgets while still achieving meaningful safety improvements.

Our services center on practical OSHA compliance assistance including comprehensive safety audits, hazard identification, and corrective action planning. We conduct workplace inspections that focus on high-risk areas and provide clear, prioritized recommendations for improvement. Our training programs cover essential topics like lockout/tagout, confined space entry, fall protection, and emergency response. We specialize in developing written safety programs that meet OSHA requirements without unnecessary complexity. This includes creating safety manuals, establishing incident reporting procedures, and implementing regular safety meeting protocols. Our fire safety services encompass evacuation planning, fire extinguisher maintenance programs, and employee training. We also provide accident investigation services and expert witness testimony when needed for workers' compensation or litigation matters.

We start every engagement with a thorough walkthrough of your facility alongside key personnel. This allows us to understand your specific operations and identify safety concerns within the context of your work environment. We then provide a detailed written report with practical recommendations ranked by priority and cost. Our implementation process focuses on building internal capability rather than creating dependency. We work with your team to develop procedures they can maintain and update independently. Follow-up visits ensure new protocols are working effectively and help address any unexpected challenges that arise during implementation.

We primarily serve the greater Kansas City metropolitan area including Independence, Lee's Summit, Overland Park, and surrounding communities in Missouri and Kansas. Our team is familiar with local contractors, suppliers, and regulatory officials, which helps streamline implementation of safety improvements. We also work with clients throughout western Missouri and eastern Kansas when projects warrant travel to more distant locations.
