Safety Director On Call

A corporate safety director, without the payroll.

Most small and mid-size field companies can't justify a full-time safety director — but Cal/OSHA doesn't grade on headcount. Blaz Safety Consulting gives you a proven corporate safety director on a project or retainer basis: programs that hold up, audits that find problems before an inspector does, and a representative in your corner when something goes wrong.

Call 530-446-1926 blazsafetyconsulting@gmail.com

Serving Nevada, Placer, Sacramento & Yuba counties · Field crews from a single crew up to 150 employees

The record behind the name /

Kevin Blaz spent seven years running safety for one of California's largest landscape contractors — and before that, he owned and operated his own field company. He knows what a MOD rate does to your margins because he's sat on both sides of the desk.

In the words of the people who worked alongside Kevin — from their letters of recommendation.

“Kevin is, hands down, the best safety professional I have worked with in a career extending back to the 1970s.”

“Kevin's ability to prevent accidents, reduce injuries, and control workers' compensation costs can more than pay for his position. More importantly, he helps ensure that people go home safely at the end of the day.”

“I recommend Kevin without reservation.”

Services & pricing /

Straight numbers, no quote games. Every engagement starts with a conversation about your crew size and where your program actually stands.

IIPP build or rebuild

$1,100–$2,300FLAT, BY HEADCOUNT & COMPLEXITY

A Cal/OSHA Title 8 §3203 Injury & Illness Prevention Program written for your operation — not boilerplate. Every California employer is required to have one, and most small companies' are stale. Add-on programs — Heat Illness Prevention, HazCom, Fall Protection — $400–$750 each.

Program / system audits

$600–$1,000SITE AUDIT + PHOTO REPORT

A full site safety audit with a same-week written report and a prioritized fix list — so you correct hazards on your schedule, not an inspector's.

Crew training

$200–$400PER SESSION, UP TO ~20 CREW

Toolbox talks, new-hire orientation, and competent-person refreshers, delivered in English or Spanish.

Incident investigation & response

$150/hrFLAT — ALL INCIDENT WORK

When someone gets hurt, Kevin steps in as your company's safety representative: investigation, root-cause analysis, written report, corrective-action plan, and interface with Cal/OSHA and your insurer. After-hours and weekend work carries a +30% differential — waived for Partner retainer clients.

$299

Start with a Safety Snapshot

A door-opener site assessment with photo notes and a top-fix list. The full $299 is credited toward an IIPP or audit booked within 30 days — so if you move forward, the Snapshot costs you nothing.

$1,395 flat
  • IIPP build or rebuild
  • Heat Illness Prevention program

How incident coverage works

Who this is for /

The core market is companies with 10–150 field employees — and the starter bundles are sized for even the smallest crews, from 1–10 staff up. Across Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, and Yuba counties.

Field trades

Landscapers and tree services, roofing, concrete, framing, glazing, and general contractors — high-hazard work, thin safety staff.

Public-works vendors

Companies that must show real safety programs to win and keep public contracts — and need the paperwork to survive scrutiny.

After the letter arrives

You just got a Cal/OSHA visit, an insurance audit, or an EMR / MOD problem. That's the moment a safety director stops being optional.
