As the year-end approaches, capital project planning and budget finalization are top of mind for many clients. Over the past few years, OTECSA Consulting has developed an innovative model to support businesses like yours, giving you a full suite of process safety expertise without the long-term commitment of increased permanent headcount.
This proactive approach is often referred to as a fractional or retainer model.
The Process Safety Retainer Model Explained
By agreeing to a longer term commitment—for example, a six-month or annual basis—clients can take advantage of reduced rates and guaranteed availability from our expert team. This ensures you have access to essential support exactly when you need it, formalizing a partnership rather than relying on reactive, short-term engagements.
We have successfully had this retainer model in place with clients for several years, with support ranging from two days a month up to 15 days a month, scaled perfectly to meet specific operational demands and work withing budgets.
Key Benefits of the Retainer Model
Quicker Response and Reduced Admin
With a retainer in place, there’s no waiting for additional purchase order approvals. Your support is immediate, allowing for a quicker response when urgent compliance issues arise.
Expertise on Demand
You gain a dedicated Key Account Manager who is personally invested in your success. This fractional model provides access to our full team of experts covering:
- Risk Assessment
- Process Engineering
- PSMS (Process Safety Management Systems)
- COMAH and Environmental Compliance
- Health and Safety Guidance
Improved Partnership and Understanding
Working together for a longer period fosters improved relationships and a deeper understanding of your particular site issues and specific areas of focus. This continuous partnership leads to more tailored and effective solutions.
Lower Overall Costs
Our reduced rate models provide significant overall cost savings compared to continually engaging consultants on a project-by-project basis.
