About Ultimate Staffing Services

Ultimate Staffing Services in Woodland Hills has expanded its business consulting practice to include workplace safety and OSHA compliance services for the San Fernando Valley business community. Drawing on years of experience placing workers across diverse industries, they understand firsthand what safe workplaces look like and what puts employees at risk. That operational background informs how they approach safety consulting in a way that pure regulatory specialists sometimes miss. Their safety consulting team works with small to mid-sized businesses in manufacturing, warehousing, logistics, and office environments throughout the West Valley. They're especially well-positioned to help businesses that are rapidly hiring or managing a blended workforce of direct employees and contingent workers, since both categories fall under Cal/OSHA's jurisdiction and require documented safety programs.

How They Can Help

Ultimate Staffing's safety consulting division offers workplace safety program development, OSHA compliance assessments, and targeted training for businesses throughout the San Fernando Valley. Their core service is a Cal/OSHA readiness review, which examines documentation, physical conditions, and workforce practices against current regulatory requirements and produces a gap analysis with remediation priorities. For businesses with staffing or workforce complexity, they offer specialized guidance on shared employer safety responsibilities, a common compliance headache when businesses use both direct and temporary workers. They help clients establish clear safety protocols that apply consistently across all worker categories, reducing liability exposure for both parties. Training services cover a broad range of required topics including heat illness prevention, fire safety, chemical handling, forklift and warehouse equipment safety, and general industry OSHA standards. All training is available in English and Spanish and includes documentation suitable for Cal/OSHA recordkeeping. They also provide incident investigation support, helping businesses analyze workplace injuries, prepare required reports, and implement corrective measures to prevent recurrence.

What to Expect

Ultimate Staffing's safety consulting process starts with an intake call to understand the client's workforce size, industry, existing safety documentation, and any recent regulatory interactions. They follow that with an on-site assessment where a consultant walks the facility, reviews records, and identifies compliance gaps relative to Cal/OSHA standards. Clients receive a written findings report within one week of the site visit. The report distinguishes between violations that create immediate citation risk and longer-term program improvements, and it includes specific references to the applicable Cal/OSHA code sections so clients understand exactly what's required. From there, the team works collaboratively with the client to build a correction timeline and, if needed, develop or update the required documentation. Training is scheduled to fit operational realities, whether that means early morning sessions before a shift or weekend training for rotating crews. A follow-up visit confirms that corrective actions are complete and that the client's documentation is inspection-ready.

Service Area

Ultimate Staffing's safety consulting practice serves Woodland Hills, Chatsworth, Canoga Park, West Hills, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Simi Valley, and the broader San Fernando Valley. They regularly work with manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics clients in the industrial corridors along the 101 and 118 corridors. Travel to other Los Angeles County locations is available for larger project engagements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are temporary workers covered by my OSHA safety program?
Yes, under Cal/OSHA both the staffing agency and the host employer share responsibility for the safety of temporary workers. The host employer is generally responsible for worksite-specific safety training and hazard protection, while the staffing agency bears responsibility for general safety training. Getting this split clearly documented protects both parties.
What's the most common Cal/OSHA citation for businesses in the San Fernando Valley?
Heat illness prevention violations are among the most frequently cited in California, particularly for businesses with any outdoor work component. Deficiencies in IIPP documentation, inadequate recordkeeping, and failure to provide required PPE are also consistently common across industries. These are the areas inspectors focus on first.
How soon can you respond if we receive an OSHA inspection notice?
The team aims to respond to urgent inquiries within the same business day. If you've received a citation or notice of informal conference, reaching out immediately is important because response timelines are strict and the window to negotiate or appeal is limited.
Do you provide training in languages other than English?
Yes, all training programs are available in both English and Spanish. If your workforce includes speakers of other languages, let the team know during intake so they can discuss options. Cal/OSHA requires that training be delivered in a language employees can understand.
What's required under California's heat illness prevention standard?
California employers with any outdoor work must maintain a written heat illness prevention program, provide access to water and shade, implement high-heat procedures when temperatures reach 95 degrees, and train employees and supervisors on heat illness recognition and prevention. In 2024, indoor heat illness prevention requirements also expanded significantly.
Do I need to update my safety program if I add new employees or change operations?
Yes, your IIPP should reflect your current operations and workforce. If you add new job tasks that introduce different hazards, change facilities, or significantly increase headcount, updating the program and retraining affected employees is both a good practice and a regulatory expectation.
How do you handle incident investigation?
If a workplace injury or near-miss occurs, the team can conduct a root cause analysis, help you complete any required Cal/OSHA reports (including Form 300 recordkeeping), and develop corrective actions to prevent recurrence. They can also assist if the incident triggers an OSHA investigation.
Is there a minimum company size to work with you?
No, the team works with businesses of all sizes, from single-location employers with a handful of employees to multi-site operations with hundreds of workers. Pricing and project scope are adjusted based on the complexity of the engagement, not a minimum headcount.
