About DCS Safety Consulting
It’s time for a transformation in safety management.
To create systems and processes that go beyond a checkbox or a cookie-cutter program. To shift safety from a tasklist to be part of the culture of an organization.
We believe in getting out ahead of the risk and embedding safety into your corporate DNA, establishing it as a value that is lived and breathed company-wide. From management to reception and everyone in between, the responsibility of safety falls to everyone.
We want to keep it simple and intentional, to allow companies to embrace safety and allow it to elevate their work. It’s about finding solutions to problems before they impact lives and the bottom line. We want to educate everyone with the tools to be proactive about hazards and risks and prevent tragedy.
Because at the end of the day — every day — DCS Safety Consulting wants people to get home safely.

Who We’ve Worked With
We have a long history of working with municipalities, large corporations, small businesses, and everything in between. We’ve helped cities increase their safety standards for their workforce, helped keep large construction sites safe from hazards, and helped various forestry companies with our extensive professional forester services.
How We Will Work With You
The best way to manage safety is to prevent accidents from happening in the first place. We can help you create an action plan for implementing new or improved safety practices in your workplace or community. Our consultants will work with your team to develop strategies for avoiding injury on site by identifying potential hazards before they occur and developing procedures to mitigate those risks. You’ll receive written recommendations for improving existing policies as well as recommendations for new policies based on our findings during our review of your current practices.
If you are looking for a safety manager but don’t have the time or resources to dedicate to it yourself, we provide “safety manager for hire” services too. We will ensure your system is up to date and functioning effectively so that you can focus on other aspects of your business.
