The answer to “how do you keep up with regulatory change?”
It is a question every auditor asks and almost no small contractor can answer. A run of dated monthly reports is the answer — evidence that the check happened, not a promise that it will.
The month nothing changes is the month this earns its keep
Federal OSHA amends its standards about three times a year. Most months, nothing you rely on moves — and a service that only sends you news would have nothing to say.
So we send you the register instead. Every instrument that applies to you, when each was last amended, and the date we checked. When an auditor asks how you keep up, you hand over twelve of them.
What arrives, every month
- A dated legal register
Every regulation that applies to your trade, with the date each was last amended and the date we verified it. This is the part to keep.
- What actually changed
Section by section, against the official published text — not a summary of somebody else's summary.
- What is coming
Proposed rules with their comment deadlines. A rule you first hear about on the day it takes effect is a rule you are late for.
- Which parts of YOUR program it reaches
If you have a program from us, we hold the register of exactly which provisions it depends on — so we can name the section that needs changing. Nobody else can do this.
- What was checked
The full list of parts enumerated and compared. It is why the report can say nothing changed and mean it.
- A compliance evaluation record
Period, method, counts, and whether action is required. Written to be filed, not skimmed.
What we watch
29 CFR 1903, 1904, 1910, 1926, 1928 — recordkeeping, general industry, construction, agriculture
Asbestos NESHAP, Risk Management, refrigerants, SPCC, stormwater, RCRA, CERCLA, EPCRA, lead RRP, AHERA
49 CFR 171–173 — hazmat definitions, communication, training, packaging
United States federal, completely — rather than many countries thinly. Twenty-four parts, every section enumerated and compared each month. We would rather cover one thing properly and tell you where the edge is.
What it costs
With every safety program. The habit is the point, not the discount.
No fee, no notice period, no phone call. Same tiers whether or not your program came from us.
Being straight about the limits
What this is not
- US federal only. It does not cover state plans, city or county rules, or the terms of a contract with a hiring client — and the report says so on its face rather than letting you assume otherwise.
- Without a program from us we can tell you what changed in your trade, but not what it means for your document — because we have not read your document.
- It is not legal advice and it does not certify compliance. It evidences that regulatory change was monitored and evaluated.
- It will not tell you a change is coming before the agency publishes anything. Nobody can.
Start with a program, or subscribe on its own.
Monitoring works either way. With a program from us it also names the sections of your own document that a change reaches.
