Being a safety consultant is high-pressure work, but if you do not take time to recharge, you are on a fast track to burnout. In this episode, Sheldon Primus explores why fun is a critical component of your business strategy and how stepping away from the audit sheet can actually sharpen your professional skills. We often focus so much on safety sparks and business brilliance that we forget to nurture our own interests outside of the industry. Sheldon shares his personal journey of finding balance while living the RV life, from hiking near the Grand Tetons to the surprising patience required for baking sourdough bagels. These moments of downtime are not just distractions; they are necessary resets for a high-performing analytical brain. A significant portion of this episode dives into Sheldon's love for poker, specifically Omaha High-Low. He breaks down why he views poker as a premier mind game that helps develop executive decision-making skills. You will hear about the math involved, the psychological aspects of the game, and how he uses a specific poker app to stay sharp. Sheldon even provides details on how you can join his private league if you are looking for a way to engage your brain outside of your typical work hours. The core message is simple: if you do not take time for yourself, burnout will eventually change how you see your business. Whether it is playing an instrument, hiking, or gaming, find what works for you and make it a priority. Tune in to learn how to keep your safety game elevated while keeping your sanity intact.

🎧 Unburdening the Safety Pro: Mental Health & Moving Beyond the "Stress Junkie" Labels with Jorge Torres Welcome back to the Safety Consultant Podcast! In this episode, Sheldon sits down with Jorge Torres , also known as The Bilingual Safety Guy , for a vulnerable and vital conversation about the "business of being human" in the safety industry.

But this isn't just a career retrospective—it's a deep dive into Jorge’s book, The Unburdened: 5 Honest Lessons from a Recovering Stress Junkie .

The Eisenhower Matrix: How to use this classic tool to regain control of your time and stop living in "hair-on-fire" mode.

🎧 The Future of OSHA: Unboxing the 2027 Budget & What It Means for You Welcome back to the Safety Consultant Podcast! In this episode, I'm braving the cold Canadian wind (and dodging some very cute chipmunks) to bring you a live look at OSHA's FY 2027 Congressional Budget Justification. Why are we looking at a budget? Because you can always tell what is truly important to a government agency by where they spend their money. Grab your coffee and join me as we unbox this budget and map out exactly how you can keep your clients regulatory-safe in 2027! 🔍 Key Episode Takeaways The Shift in OSHA Standards: OSHA is actively moving toward deregulation, reducing standard-setting full-time equivalent hours (FTEs) from 72 down to 44. Because of this shift, you shouldn't expect many new standards to be released in 2027. Instead, the agency will focus on publishing guidance products and creating plain language revisions of current regulations. Major proposed rules, like the heat stress standard, will likely remain in a holding pattern. Enforcement Isn't Disappearing, It's Changing: Don't believe the rumors that OSHA enforcement is stopping. The budget reveals that a massive 70 to 80% of initiated inspections will be unprogrammed. This means OSHA will be heavily focused on responding to formal worker complaints, fatalities, amputations, and hospitalizations. Programmed Inspections: The remaining 20 to 30% of inspections will be programmed, primarily focusing on National Emphasis Programs and targeted high-hazard workplaces. Construction Remains a Primary Target: The construction industry is definitely not exempt from enforcement. OSHA plans to conduct 11,240 planned construction inspections in FY 2027. They will be heavily targeting sites with high probable hazards, specifically zeroing in on the Focus Four: falls, electrical, standby, and caught-in hazards. The Truth About Training Grants: Once again, the requested budget for the Susan Harwood Training grants is set at zero. However, Congress historically funds these programs anyway, so if you rely on this material for your non-profit, don't panic—it will likely still be there. 🚀 Promotions & Business Resources June Strategy Promotion: Since it's National Safety Month in the US, I'm offering a special bonus!

In Part 4 of our "Starting a New Business" series on the Safety Consultant Show, we are wrapping things up by talking about credentials. You don't need every letter in the alphabet behind your name to be successful, but you do need the right ones. Here are a few key takeaways from today’s episode: 🎯 Match your certs to your niche: Don't just guess. Look at what potential clients in your specific industry (like construction or oil & gas) are actively asking for in their job listings and get those exact credentials. 🎓 Degrees vs. Certificates: A Bachelor's or Master's degree in EHS will always carry the most weight, but if college isn't an option, programs like the COSS (Certified Occupational Safety Specialist) or COSM provide incredible value based on your real-world experience—no degree required!. 🦺 The OSHA 10 & 30 Advantage: Becoming an authorized OSHA 10 and 30-hour instructor (through the OSHA 501 or 500 train-the-trainer courses) is one of the best ways to gain local recognition and instantly open up new revenue streams. If you are ready to take your safety experience and turn it into a profitable consulting business, this episode is a must-listen.
You’ve got the business name. You’ve got the legal setup. You’ve started thinking through your niche. Now comes the part many new consultants miss: How do people actually find you? In this episode of The Safety Consultant Podcast , Sheldon continues the 2026 business startup series by walking safety professionals through practical networking strategies that can help them start building real consulting opportunities. This is not theory. This is the “go make something happen” part of the business. If you are an EHS professional, safety manager, trainer, OSHA compliance specialist, or future safety consultant, this episode gives you practical places to start building your network before you leave your job, while you are still testing your niche, or while you are trying to land your next client. What This Episode Covers In Part 1 of the series, Sheldon covered getting your business legal and structured. In Part 2, he talked about finding a profitable niche. In Part 3, he focuses on where to network and find consulting opportunities , including: Using Upwork to find project-based consulting work Signing up with Yellowbird as a safety professional Building relationships through LinkedIn groups Networking inside Facebook safety groups Partnering with your local safety council Using training events to build credibility and attract future clients Proving your consulting concept before leaving your full-time job Why This Matters A safety consulting business does not grow just because you know OSHA standards. It grows because people know what you do, trust that you can help them, and can find you when they need your expertise. That means you need more than technical knowledge. You need a network. This episode shows you how to start spreading that web in a smart, practical way so you can begin turning your safety experience into business opportunities. Featured Resources Mentioned Sheldon discusses several places safety consultants can use to start finding opportunities and building relationships: Upwork A freelance platform where you can bid on safety, training, writing, compliance, and consulting projects. Yellowbird A platform designed to connect safety professionals with companies needing EHS support. LinkedIn Groups A strong place to build visibility, answer questions, and connect with safety professionals and potential clients. Facebook Groups Including Sheldon’s Safety Consultant group, where safety officers and consultants can network and share opportunities. Local Safety Councils A powerful local networking option where you may be able to offer training, partner on events, or connect with organizations needing help. Who Should Listen This episode is especially helpful for: Safety professionals thinking about becoming consultants EHS managers wanting a side income OSHA trainers looking for more business opportunities New consultants trying to find their first clients Experienced safety pros who need a better networking strategy Consultants who want to build visibility without spamming people online Key Takeaway Your network can become your first business development system. But the goal is not to spam people. The goal is to show up, participate, answer questions, build trust, and let people see that you are the person who can help solve their safety and compliance problems. As Sheldon says, this is about taking action right now.
In this episode of The Safety Consultant podcast, Sheldon continues his series on what he would do if he were starting a safety consulting business today. This week’s focus is one of the most important early business decisions you can make: finding your niche. Sheldon breaks down how to identify the work you already do well, the topics people naturally come to you for, and the services that can create real income as you grow your consulting practice. He also explains why it helps to have more than one niche or revenue stream while you build momentum. If you are a safety professional, EHS leader, trainer, or aspiring consultant trying to figure out how to turn your experience into a business, this episode will help you think more strategically about where you fit in the market.
In this episode, Sheldon Primus kicks off a new series for safety professionals ready to start a consulting business in 2026. Part 1 focuses on the foundation: choosing a business name, securing your domain, setting up business email, getting insurance, understanding the value of a DUNS number, opening a bank account, and preparing to accept payments. Before you chase clients, build the business structure that helps you look professional, operate legally, and get paid.
In Part 3 of this Safety Champions series, Sheldon Primus wraps up the conversation by focusing on the practical question many safety leaders are asking: How do you actually get ready for OSHA’s Safety Champions Program? In this episode, he walks through what readiness looks like at each stage and explains the program’s 3-step structure as building the foundation, making the safety management system operable, and proving the system is sustainable and improving over time. Sheldon breaks down how organizations can begin by securing leadership commitment, creating written policies, assigning safety responsibilities, surveying workers, identifying hazards, establishing controls, building training plans, evaluating OSHA logs and injury records, and coordinating with contractors. He then explains what it takes to move into the intermediate and advanced stages, where organizations show that the program is functioning, improving, and becoming part of the way the business operates. This episode is ideal for safety professionals, consultants, and business leaders who want to understand what OSHA readiness really looks like and how to move from compliance-only thinking into a stronger safety and health management system. Sheldon also invites listeners to take the next step through his Safety Champion Readiness Workshop , where he helps attendees work through the framework in a live virtual format.
In Part 2 of this Safety Champions series, Sheldon Primus moves beyond the introduction and breaks down how OSHA’s Safety Champions Program can help organizations build a stronger, more connected safety and health system. He explains that while SHARP and VPP are designed for organizations already operating at a higher level of safety maturity, the Safety Champions Program is meant to help employers start earlier and build step by step. In this episode, Sheldon walks listeners through OSHA’s seven core elements of a strong safety and health program: management leadership, worker participation, hazard identification and assessment, hazard prevention and control, education and training, program evaluation and improvement, and communication and coordination for host employers, contractors, and staffing agencies. He explains how each element strengthens the overall system and helps move safety from disconnected activities into a more complete safety management approach. He also connects the framework to concepts like ISO 45001 , leading and lagging indicators, worker trust, JSAs/JHAs, hierarchy of controls, learning teams, and contractor management, showing how the Safety Champions approach can become a real operational advantage rather than just another initiative. This episode is for safety professionals, consultants, and leaders who want to understand not just what the program is, but how it can help improve the way an organization leads, communicates, trains, evaluates, and reduces risk.
In this first episode of a 3-part series, Sheldon introduces OSHA’s new Safety Champions Program (SCP) and explains how it differs from SHARP and VPP . He frames SCP as a practical, voluntary pathway for organizations that want to start building a stronger safety and health program from the ground up, rather than waiting until they are already operating at a mature recognition-program level. In the episode, Sheldon explains that SCP is built around three phases — Introductory, Intermediate, and Advanced — and OSHA’s seven core elements of an effective safety and health program. Sheldon also highlights how the program uses a tracker and SGE support to help employers document progress and move step by step through the process. He contrasts SCP with SHARP , which is aimed at smaller employers using OSHA consultation, and VPP , which is geared toward mature, high-performing safety systems. This episode is for safety professionals, consultants, and leaders who are asking: What’s next for our safety system? How can we start preparing for OSHA’s new Safety Champions Program? Sheldon also introduces his upcoming Safety Champion Readiness Workshop , where he’ll spend four hours helping attendees break down the steps, understand the tracker, and build a readiness roadmap.
What happens when artificial intelligence meets real-world safety management? In this episode, Sheldon breaks down how AI can support Environmental Health and Safety professionals in practical, meaningful ways. From hazard recognition and data analysis to training development, trend spotting, and management decision-making, this conversation explores where AI fits into modern safety systems and where human judgment still matters most. This episode is for safety consultants, EHS managers, trainers, and leaders who want to understand how to use AI as a tool for better planning, better communication, and better outcomes. Sheldon cuts through the hype and focuses on what matters: how AI can help improve safety performance, support compliance efforts, and make safety management more proactive instead of reactive. If you’ve been wondering whether AI is just a buzzword or a real advantage for safety professionals, this episode gives you a practical lens for using technology without losing the people-first foundation of EHS.
Season 6 is here! In this kickoff episode of the Safety Consultant Podcast , Sheldon Primus welcomes listeners back and sets the stage for what’s coming next. This season will continue blending safety leadership, consulting strategy, and practical insights to help safety professionals grow their impact—and their businesses. You’ll hear about the direction of the show for this season, what topics are on the horizon, and how the podcast will keep supporting safety pros who want to think bigger about their careers. Whether you're an experienced consultant, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a safety professional looking to expand your influence, Season 6 is built with you in mind. Let’s get started.
OSHA has a new leader, a new poster, and a very clear inspection strategy for 2026. Are you ready? In this quarterly OSHA update, Sheldon breaks down the biggest changes safety professionals and consultants need to know — from the new “OSHA Cares” poster to federal enforcement reductions and the 24,929 inspections planned for the year. You’ll learn: What the new OSHA poster means for employers Who the new head of OSHA is and why it matters Where enforcement dollars are shrinking (and where focus is tightening) Why 70–80% of inspections will be unprogrammed The four hazards that will dominate construction inspections If you're a consultant, safety manager, or building your own safety business, this episode helps you anticipate where OSHA is headed — so you can position yourself (and your clients) ahead of the curve. Stay proactive. Stay strategic. Stay inspection-ready.
Spring is a season of growth — but growth doesn’t happen just because the calendar changes. It happens when you decide to move. In this episode, Sheldon explores why so many safety professionals stay stuck in “learning mode” and never make the leap into leadership. Backed by behavioral research on the intention–action gap, perfectionism, and productive procrastination Spring Forward , he breaks down what’s really holding you back — and how to shift from preparation to execution. More importantly, this conversation goes beyond hustle. It’s about the freedom that comes with ownership: choosing your clients, controlling your schedule, and building a career that gives you options — not just income. If you’ve been thinking about launching or growing your consulting business, this is your nudge to stop collecting knowledge and start building momentum. 🌱 Learn more at sheldon.coach
