Expert Services: How Our HSE Team Elevates Safety and Reduces Risk

Expert Services play a central role in helping clients strengthen their safety programs and make better decisions. In the first conversation with a prospect, our team focuses on identifying the right questions to be asked instead of repeating back answers. That approach builds trust, uncovers real issues, and shows clients that we understand the pressures they face.

Our team holds respected industry certifications such as CSP, ASP, MSP, COSS, and CSHO. That expertise gives clients confidence that our guidance is grounded in experience and proven best practices. It also helps us analyze each client’s needs and recommend solutions that fit their operations. This tailored support increases the value of our work and shows clients that safety is not a one-size-fits-all exercise.

“Clients come to us because they want more than a checklist. They want someone who understands the realities of field work,” said Simon Goncharenko, Director of EHS at Veriforce.

How Expert Services Support Better Outcomes

Our Expert Services team works closely with sales to create examples and stories that matter to each prospect. These real-world insights show clients how stronger safety programs protect workers and limit exposure. They also help prospects understand why certain protocols, assessments, or training improvements should be a priority.

Because our team has deep knowledge of regulations and safety standards, we can explain complex requirements in a clear way. This helps clients understand the “why” behind safety decisions, which often leads to better adoption and stronger buy-in across their organization. As we address their specific concerns, we can also help sales shape a more relevant and impactful message.

Clients benefit from close to 200 years of combined field experience across Oil and Gas, Utilities, Construction, Pipeline, Chemicals, Datacenters, and Facility Management. That hands-on background gives us context for the real challenges workforces face. It also shows prospects that our advice is grounded in what happens on sites every day.

Expert Services in Assessments and Auditing

Another key strength is our work as ISO-certified auditors. With certifications across ISO 9001, 14001, 18001, and 45001, we provide strategic consulting, along with both desktop and field assessments. Clients often come to us when they need more than a standard solution. Instead of offering a single assessment type, we deliver a full suite of evaluations that go deeper than what competitors provide.

When a fully customized assessment is needed, we help define the scope, conduct the audit, and prepare a thorough report. A good example is the Competency Assurance Assessment created for WaterBridge. Projects like this show how tailored work uncovers risks, supports safer operations, and reduces overall exposure.

“A customized assessment tells the real story. It shows where risk hides and what steps will make the biggest impact,” said Chris Detillier, Veriforce’s Senior HSE Advisor.

As master trainers, our team has trained thousands of workers over the years. That experience allows us to spot gaps in training programs and help clients improve how they prepare their workforces. Stronger training reduces incidents and helps teams stay aligned with evolving safety expectations.

Leadership, Communication, and Industry Influence

Our thought leadership also plays a major role. Members of our team participate in regulatory development through the ANSI and ASSP Z390.1 and Z490.1 committees as well as ongoing ANSI SIF consensus standards. Because of that work, we can advise clients on upcoming trends and potential regulatory shifts.

We also support clients by helping craft policies and build safety communication campaigns. With several published authors on the team, clients get help translating complex ideas into messages that workers can easily understand.

Many of our experts are also keynote speakers. They present at contractor forums and internal company events on topics such as Serious Injuries and Fatalities, Human and Organizational Performance, Psychosocial Safety, Proactive Return to Work, and many other safety, wellbeing, and risk management topics. These sessions raise awareness and help workers and leaders think differently about risk.

All these services help reduce incidents, lower insurance premiums, and support stronger safety programs. When our team joins discovery or sales calls, it helps prospects see the full value of our approach and the depth of expertise behind our platform.

“Thousands of workers later, one thing is clear: strong training only works when it reflects real-world conditions,” said Richard Emberling, Principal HSE Specialist at Veriforce.
