Being a consultant in any field has always been a point of curiosity for many professionals interested in being their own boss. A Google search of "How to be a consultant" yields over 15 million search volume. The term "safety consultant" yields just under 1.29 million in Google search volume. If you are one of those thinking about making the transition, this book will give you 7 steps that I learned along the way as I developed Utility Compliance Inc. and OSHA Compliance Help to what I do now as the Executive Director of the National Environmental & Occupational Safety Training, Inc. (NEOSTI).
In this book, you will learn 7 key steps to starting a profitable safety consulting business. These steps are as follows:
1.Choose a universal name that relates to your target market
2.Secure your domain name as soon as possible
3.Start your business before you quit your job
4.Write articles for trade journals and other publications
5.Get a safety designation
6.Become an authorized OSHA instructor
7.Partner with an association or safety and health organization
