Safety Consulting Specialists provides litigation support services!

Safety Consulting Specialists offers expert witness services for cases involving OSHA 1926 Construction, OSHA 1910 General Industry, and MSHA matters. Our team is led by Joe DeFranco, CSP who has provided expert witness services since 2007. When a construction or general industry accident occurs, we can help identify the root causes and contributing factors. We provide an in-depth analysis of the incident or accident by collecting and documenting evidence including photographs and videos and conducting interviews with management, employees and witnesses. We assist with case reviews, question development, detailed written reports, depositions, and testimony. Our experienced subject matter experts are equipped to manage complex tasks involving workplace and crane safety issues and have handled cases for both plaintiffs and the defense.
