RTS Consulting US Client List

Steve Mohammad - Vice President 

Insight Pacific, LLC

On behalf of Insight Pacific LLC (IPL), I wish to express our appreciation to Raising The Standard Consulting (USA), Inc. (RTS Consulting) for its safety and health services and efforts.  RTS Consulting provided Site Safety and Health Officer (SSHO) and Alternate SSHO services on two of our construction projects for NAVFAC-Hawaii:

• Repair Base Recycling Center, Building 132, Marine Corps Base, Hawaii Contract Task Order No. 0007
• Replace HVAC System, Building 1073H, Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam, Hawaii

Contract Task Order No. 0009

We appreciate your dedication and professionalism in ensuring that all of our project personnel and our subcontracts’ personnel maintained compliance with all safety and health throughout the projects.  Working at these military installations are challenging and can present logistical difficulties.  RTS Consultant’s integration with our project team was seamless and effective.

Thank you for performing as a valued member of our team.  We look forward to working with RTS Consulting again.

Bruce Bilodeau - Quality Control Manager

Watts Construction 

With RTSC staff currently onboard, impact is evident with improved daily oversight of safety aspects for ongoing work. in addition, direct communications with the field workers to address the inadequate safety measures and ineffective compliance with PPE requirements is occurring in a manner which established accountability without rancor. RTS Consulting's approach is definitely enhancing the safety culture on the jobsite. 

Rocky Brooke - Project Manager 

Inglett & Stubbs International  

Inglett & Stubbs International is based out of Atlanta, GA and have been working on Camp H. M. Smith  since October 2014 installing generators as part of the SPIDERS project. Our previous SSHO left us  without notice and, being a military project, that role is essential for operation. 

 RTSC staff arrived onsite with professionalism and expertise. Their interaction not only with subordinates  but also the customer inspired confidence in the culture of safety he worked to create. Their attitude  toward work was exemplary, always willing to lend a hand or offer advice while keeping the broader  scope of work in focus. While they were not here with us very long, his influence has remained.    Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions.

Mr. Stanford Brown was contracted by Dorvin D. Leis Co., Inc. to oversee all aspects of the company's safety program from June 2011 through August 2012. These responsibilities included, but were not limited to, Safety Training, on-site safety visits, OHSA compliance and reporting, equipment certifications, etc.

Keenan Wilson - General Foreman

Dorvin D. Leis Co. inc.

I met Stanford Brown while he worked at Dorvin D. Leis, Inc. He was our Safety Director and I am a General Foreman currently employed there. He worked on a few of my jobs and was very knowledgeable about safety issues.

He assisted me on several occasions on purchasing my safety equipment and getting what my workmen needed to be compliant. He was also prompt in returning my phone calls and answering my questions.

He was a quick problem solver and very efficient. He was always courteous and very well liked by the employees. He was very professional and effective.

 Vic Freeberg - Eastern Operations Manager 

Lilja Corp.

I contracted Stanford Brown the Founder and President of Raising the Standard Consulting Inc to manage our Corporate Safety Program which included conducting, training, generating and completing all required Provincial Construction certificates and permits. He also conducted and supervised five on site safety specialists during the project. They conducted site surveys for safety control, developed and instituted providence and site safety programs, and conducted industrial hygiene measurements for various hazardous materials. To initiate the project Stanford converted our US OSHA based safety and health manual and training requirements to the Canadian Legislation for Ontario and ensured we met all related regulations during the project.

The project value was $300 000.00 US.

I would not hesitate to recommend Stanford Brown to anyone who requires his level of expertise and leadership.

Brad Espedal Project - Manager

Honolulu Builders

On behalf of Honolulu Builders, I would like to express gratitude for having the opportunity of working with Stanford Brown as our safety manager these last months on the Monsanto Kunia Foundation Expansion project. Stanford’s credentials which were submitted with his resume included his CSP certification and his seventeen years of experience were initially impressive. Accepting him as our safety manager for our project was an easy choice. However, what I had not expected was the high level of professionalism exhibited by Stanford.

On the Monsanto project Stanford initiated what we have come to call On The Spot Safety Training (OSST). Rather than hold a daily safety huddle Stanford gives safety advice and training on site throughout the day that really is task specific rather than the broader topics usually covered in huddles or toolbox talks.

This project has had as many as 60 tradesmen on site at any given time. I would say that Stanford’s influence has had a positive effect on every single worker on site allowing them to be more safety conscious.

Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with many safety professionals on site as well as those consultants representing insurance companies who come to my projects. None of them have ever shown me the in depth knowledge of OSHA standards that Stanford has. Stanford has raised the bar for what I would consider a safety professional.

If you ever need a recommendation from our company for Stanford on any future project do not hesitate to have them call me directly at (808) 306-0880.

In the fast pace commercial construction business it has been my pleasure and honor to work with such a professional and consciences individual as Standford Brown. His attention to detail and hard work ethics has not only saved our company money in reducing risk, but has kept our employees and our trade partners employees safer and healthier. He has provided special training programs for not only our own employees, but for everyone that steps through my jobsite gates. With the risk of injuries reduced my schedule and budgets increase making my jobsite more timely and profitable.

Standford Brown is always just a phone call away to answer any question or to give personal safety advice for any situation. No matter how great we think we are doing as safety conscience superintendents, Standford is sure to find something we can improve on during his monthly safety visits and safety audits. It has been my sincere pleasure working with Standford and look forward to working with him in the future.
