Our Vision
Our vision is that no one goes home from work with a work-related injury or illness.  

There may be workplaces or jobs that seem to have some inherent risks that are simply impossible to control.  You may think "that's just the risk we have to take to make a living."  The truth is, no job is worth sacrificing your life or the life of your employees.  All risks can be controlled.  The key is to understand how the risks can be controlled, and what level of risk you are willing to accept.

Our mission is to provide you with the most effective guidance on providing safe and healthy workplaces, accurate technical advice, and risk assessment assistance (to ensure you understand the health and safety risks in your workplace).
Fees and Charges
Fees for services can be discussed during our initial consultation, but we are sensitive to the needs and limited budgets of small business owners.  

Where exposure assessment requires equipment rental and sample analysis, we will conduct the work and ask the business owner to pay the additional charges directly to the supplier with no mark up.
​
Where the scope of work is too large or outside our expertise, we can provide contact information for numerous reputable consulting firms.

The Name
A parapet is a railing around a roof.  In Deuteronomy 22:8, the Israelites are told to build a railing around the roof of their houses to prevent people from falling.  The OSHA construction rule at 29 CFR 1926.501(b)(1) also requires a railing to prevent falling (during construction), and it seems a lot of people are resistant to the "new" requirements imposed by OSHA.  The fact is, safety is not new and our responsibility to be our Brother's Keeper is a longstanding tradition.  The wisdom of God is timeless.
