They Have Built an Industry Around Compliance

Best of MountainsideFM.

Today, in too many cases, health and safety isn’t about protecting people – it’s about protecting processes.

Let me give you a real-world example. A plumbing upgrade across a 110-apartment complex: $580,000.

That’s the actual job. Then comes the compliance layer – another $1.2 million..

Yes, you heard that right. The paperwork, the consultants, the sign-offs, the supervision, the risk assessments – costs two times more than the work itself.

Now tell me – who exactly is being protected there?
