Meet Jeffrey Barnett, OSHA Safety Consultant, Trainer, and Expert Witness
You need someone who understands OSHA requirements, real jobsite conditions, training gaps, documentation, inspections, investigations, and what is at risk when safety systems fail.
Jeffrey Barnett is the founder and Chief Consultant of Boston Safety & Compliance. Known by many as The OSHA Guy, Jeffrey helps businesses and attorneys with OSHA training, workplace safety consulting, citation and investigation support, serious incident review, and expert witness services.
His approach is practical, thorough, and grounded in the realities of the work being performed.
Based in Chickasha, Oklahoma. Serving businesses, organizations, and legal teams across the United States.
When workplace safety is under scrutiny, you need more than a provider who can repeat regulations.
You Deserve Clear Guidance When Safety Questions Put Everything Under Pressure
When you are choosing an OSHA safety consultant, trainer, or expert witness, credentials matter, but they are only part of the decision.
You also need someone who will listen carefully, ask the difficult questions, explain complex issues clearly, and recommend practical steps that fit your situation.
You may be trying to determine:
Whether your employees have received the right training
How to respond after an OSHA citation or inspection
Whether your safety documentation is complete
What needs to change after a workplace incident
Whether your current safety program works in practice
How OSHA standards apply to a workplace accident case
Whether you need an OSHA expert witness
How to strengthen safety without disrupting operations
These questions carry real consequences for your employees, projects, leadership team, reputation, and legal strategy.
Boston Safety & Compliance helps you move from uncertainty to a clearer plan.
Safety problems rarely happen in controlled classroom conditions.
They happen on active jobsites, in industrial facilities, on ladders and scaffolds, around lifts and equipment, and during fast-moving work where deadlines and operational pressure can influence decisions.
Jeffrey built Boston Safety & Compliance to provide the kind of guidance businesses and attorneys need in those real-world situations.
His work brings together OSHA knowledge, workplace safety training, operational experience, investigations, business leadership, and an understanding of how safety decisions are made in the field.
Boston Safety & Compliance was not created to produce generic policies or deliver training that employees forget as soon as class ends.
It exists to help organizations:
Understand their OSHA and workplace safety responsibilities
Train employees to recognize and control hazards
Build practical safety systems
Respond appropriately when OSHA raises concerns
Review workplace incidents carefully
Support legal teams with clear safety analysis
Protect employees, operations, and long-term business stability
The mission is simple and serious: protect your people, strengthen your operation, and help make sure everyone goes home safe.
OSHA Guidance Built on Real-World Experience
Mission and Values
-
Protect People First
Workplace safety is ultimately about people, not forms, binders, or checklists. Every recommendation, class, investigation, and safety plan should help reduce preventable harm and give employees a better chance of returning home safely.
-
Give Clients Clear Answers
OSHA standards and workplace safety responsibilities can become complicated quickly. Jeffrey explains the issues in direct, understandable language so business leaders, supervisors, employees, attorneys, and decision-makers can act with greater confidence.
-
Build Systems That Work in the Field
A written safety program has little value when employees cannot follow it. Boston Safety & Compliance focuses on practical systems that match the equipment, hazards, workforce, and operational demands of the organization.
-
Examine the Details
Training records, jobsite conditions, policies, supervision, equipment, and documentation can all affect the outcome of an OSHA matter or workplace safety case. Jeffrey approaches the work carefully and methodically, without dismissing details that may prove important.
-
Help Clients Move Forward
The goal is not to create panic or unnecessary complexity. The goal is to understand the situation, identify what needs attention, and help the client take the next responsible step.
Why Businesses and Attorneys Call The OSHA Guy
-
Real-World Jobsite Understanding
Jeffrey’s guidance reflects the way construction, industrial, commercial, oil and gas, and other high-risk work is actually performed. He helps clients connect OSHA requirements to real equipment, real hazards, and real operational decisions.
-
Training That Goes Beyond a Certificate
A card may satisfy a requirement, but it does not automatically make a workforce safer. Jeffrey focuses on helping employees recognize hazards, understand expectations, and apply safer practices in the field.
-
Direct Access to the Consultant
Clients work directly with Jeffrey Barnett. They are not passed through an anonymous call center or handed off to someone unfamiliar with their training needs, OSHA concerns, operations, or a legal matter.
-
Thorough, Detail-Driven Review
When an OSHA citation, serious incident, or workplace accident case raises the stakes, small details may matter. Jeffrey reviews the information carefully, asks direct questions, and works to understand how policies, training, supervision, equipment, and jobsite conditions fit together.

OSHA Guidance Built on Real-World Experience
Safety credentials matter most when they translate into better decisions in the field.

Master Certification in progress
Jeffrey’s training goes beyond classroom knowledge. It supports the work Boston Safety & Compliance performs in workplace safety training, OSHA compliance, safety consulting, incident review, citation support, and expert witness matters.
That matters because your business does not need credentials for the sake of credentials.
You need someone who can take technical safety requirements, understand how they apply to the work being performed, and explain them clearly to the people responsible for making decisions.
The value is not simply what Jeffrey has studied. It is how that training helps your people recognize risk earlier, respond more clearly, and make better safety decisions when the work gets real.
Safety Training Built for the Work Your Employees Actually Perform
Many companies first contact Boston Safety & Compliance because they need a class.
But the real goal is not simply completing a requirement.
Employees need to recognize hazards before someone is hurt. Supervisors need to know what to watch for. Employers need training that reinforces accountability, safer decisions, and consistent expectations.
Boston Safety & Compliance provides OSHA safety training and workplace safety education for construction companies, contractors, industrial employers, commercial operations, oil and gas teams, manufacturers, and other organizations.
Training may include:
OSHA 10 training
OSHA 30 training
Fall protection training
Ladder safety training

Aerial lift and man lift training
Hazard recognition

OSHA Expert Witness Analysis Grounded in Real Workplace Conditions

Plaintiff attorneys
Defense counsel
Businesses and corporations
Insurance teams
Legal departments
Other parties involved in workplace safety disputes
Matters may involve:
