Consulting Limitations & Operational Disclaimer
Last Updated: 11-22-2025
Raising The Standard Consulting (USA) Inc. is dedicated to helping organizations navigate the complexities of Environment, Health, and Safety (EH&S). While we strive for accuracy and excellence in every audit, training module, and consultation, it is important that our clients and website visitors understand the boundaries of our services.
By accessing rtsconsulting.com or retaining our consulting services, you acknowledge the following terms of use and limitations of liability.
1. Regulatory Interpretation vs. Legal Counsel
RTSC is a firm of safety professionals, not a law firm.
The information provided on this website, in our newsletters, and during our consulting engagements is intended for educational and operational purposes only. While we interpret regulations such as OSHA 29 CFR standards to help you achieve compliance, our advice does not constitute legal counsel.
- No Attorney-Client Relationship: Utilizing our services does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- Legal Verification: For specific legal interpretations regarding liability, citation defense, or criminal negligence, we strongly recommend consulting with a qualified attorney in your jurisdiction.
2. No Guarantee of “Zero Accidents” or Immunity
Our goal is to help you “Raise the Standard” and aim for a zero-accident workplace. However, safety is a continuous, dynamic process that relies on daily execution by your management and staff.
- Operational Outcomes: RTSC cannot and does not guarantee that following our recommendations, taking our training courses, or passing our audits will prevent all accidents, injuries, or fatalities.
- Regulatory Immunity: We cannot guarantee that your organization will be immune from inspections, citations, or fines issued by government bodies (e.g., OSHA). We provide the tools to mitigate risk, but the ultimate responsibility for maintaining a compliant and safe work environment rests with the facility owner/operator.
3. The Evolving Regulatory Landscape
Government standards in the United States are subject to change. While we make every effort to keep our materials and website content current, RTSC makes no warranties regarding the completeness or absolute timeliness of the information provided.
Rules regarding permissible exposure limits, reporting requirements, and technical standards may be updated by legislators at any time. We encourage all clients to verify specific statutory requirements with the relevant government agency.
4. External Industry & Government Links
To facilitate your regulatory research, we may curate links to official repositories (such as osha.gov) or other relevant industry hubs. Please understand that these hyperlinks serve exclusively as a navigation aid.
RTSC holds no authority over, and assumes no responsibility for, the accuracy or protocol changes found on these external domains. The presence of a link on our site does not constitute an endorsement of that entity’s opinions or operational standards. You navigate to these third-party platforms at your own discretion.
5. Liability & Financial Boundaries
Within the boundaries authorized by Hawaii state and US federal law, Raising The Standard Consulting (USA) Inc. excludes all liability for outcomes stemming from your utilization of our digital content or consulting advice.
RTSC is not financially responsible for any form of distinct or cumulative damages—including, but not limited to, revenue shortfalls, operational halts, corruption of digital records, or profit loss—even if our team was previously notified that such setbacks were possible. Your engagement with our materials confirms your understanding of these liability caps.
