Our Story
Stephen B. Ogle, owner of Stephen B. Ogle & Associates, Inc., an independent safety consulting firm, located in Caldwell, Ohio, draws his expertise from many years of experience.
Following several years as Safety Manager of B & N Coal Company in Dexter City, Ohio, Ogle formed the company Compliance Consultants, an oil field safety service. The primary focus being performing periodic inspections of drilling equipment and facilities and providing detailed reports to clients and consulting with the client supervisory personnel. In addition to inspections, the company also assisted in training employees in job safety in regards to the oil and gas industry.
When oil field activity in the area suffered a downturn in the 70's, he became an OSHA Compliance Officer, assigned to the Columbus, Ohio office. In this capacity, Ogle performed a variety of inspections in general industry and construction, such inspections arising from accidents and fatalities, employee complaints, and general scheduling. Ogle also dealt extensively with interpretations of the OSHA Field Operations Manual, the OSHA "Bible" which establishes OSHA policy on federal regulations.
In 1987, he left OSHA to begin Stephen B. Ogle & Associates, with clients that cover a full range of construction and manufacturing companies located in a number of states and U.S. territories. Stephen B. Ogle & Associates pride themselves in their hands-on, nuts and bolts approach to safety and compliance.
