Clear scope

An experienced outside perspective—not an enforcement visit.

SafetyDraft provides advisory observations based on visible conditions and information supplied by the client. A walkthrough is not an OSHA inspection, compliance audit, certification, legal opinion, or engineering inspection, and it cannot guarantee that every hazard will be identified.
