As always, there are options. You could manage safety yourselves, you could do nothing (not really an option unless your company is perfect!) or you could get someone else to do the management — or at least identify the issues — of safety on your site.

There are a number of benefits of a safety consultancy. Some have already been mentioned in other answers, but the main reason is ‘breadth of experience’. Someone who is an expert in general tooling equipment will be excellent for companies operating such equipment. In a similar way, an occupational hygienist will be very good at considering the exposure of persons to different harmful materials. But a safety consultancy would have the much broader experience, possibly encompassing elements of both; meaning that they can take ‘good engineering practice’ from one industry to another.

Who but a safety consultant would take good practice from car repairers and use them in aircraft hangers where airplanes are being refueled and maintained; or be able to investigate industrial accidents using knowledge gained in totally different industries and fields, where similarities in the incidents would not be apparent to others with a lesser breadth of knowledge?
