The Cost of Inaction
Can your business afford to ignore workplace safety?
Maximum Per Violation
OSHA's maximum penalty for a single serious violation as of 2024. Willful or repeated violations can reach this amount — per instance.
Average Workers' Comp Claim
The average cost of a workplace injury claim in California including medical, lost wages, and administrative costs.
True Cost Multiplier
Indirect costs of a workplace injury are typically 3 to 5 times the direct medical costs.
Preventable
The vast majority of workplace injuries and OSHA citations are preventable with proper safety programs.
Every day without a proper safety program is a day your business is at risk.

What Our Clients Say
We received an OSHA citation out of nowhere and had no idea how to respond. Michael walked us through the entire process, represented us at the informal conference, and got the penalty reduced significantly. I don't know what we would have done without him.
McNeil Safety Consulting wrote our entire IIPP and safety program from scratch. The process was painless, the documents are thorough, and our employees actually understand them. We passed our next Cal/OSHA inspection without a single citation.
As a general contractor, we're on job sites every day with real exposure to OSHA enforcement. Michael has been our go-to safety consultant for years. His field experience is the real deal — he's not just reading from a manual.
The industrial hygiene assessment Michael performed at our facility identified hazards we didn't even know existed. His report was detailed, actionable, and written in plain English. Our team implemented every recommendation within 60 days.
We've worked with other safety consultants before, but none of them had the medical background that McNeil Safety Consulting brings. Having a licensed nurse involved in the assessment process made a real difference in how we handle occupational health issues.
Michael helped us navigate a workplace injury investigation that could have turned into a major liability. His documentation, his knowledge of the regulations, and his calm professionalism under pressure were exactly what we needed.
Real Results for California Businesses
Citation Reduced from $48,000 to $4,800
A mid-size manufacturing company in the San Gabriel Valley received a serious OSHA citation following a workplace injury. McNeil Safety Consulting reviewed the citation, identified procedural deficiencies in the inspection, and represented the client at the informal conference. The final penalty was reduced by 90%.
Zero Citations on Cal/OSHA Inspection After New IIPP
A skilled nursing facility in Arcadia had failed two consecutive Cal/OSHA inspections. McNeil Safety Consulting rewrote their Injury and Illness Prevention Program, delivered staff training, and implemented a new incident reporting system. The next inspection resulted in zero citations.
Chemical Exposure Risk Eliminated at Distribution Center
Workers at a Commerce-area distribution facility reported headaches and respiratory irritation. McNeil Safety Consulting conducted air quality monitoring, identified elevated solvent levels from an adjacent tenant, and provided a remediation plan.
