As a risk management professional, you’re aware of the risks that come with health and safety consulting. Some of those risks include:
- Your risk management recommendations are misinterpreted or misapplied by a client who either faces fines or experiences losses and initiates a lawsuit forcing you to retain a lawyer to respond to the suit
- A scheduling error causes your firm to miss an inspection which delays the opening of a commercial project resulting in a loss of revenue
- A misunderstanding during fact-finding causes you to make improper recommendations
- A calculation error is made rendering your safety plan non-compliant with regulations
