From my point of view, both options are suitable and can effectively meet the company’s occupational safety and health requirements. The decision should primarily be based on which option is more financially beneficial and sustainable for the company.

If employing a full-time Occupational Safety and Health Specialist is more cost-effective considering the company’s size and operational needs, that would be a good choice. Likewise, if contracting a qualified specialist or an external service provider on a part-time basis offers the same level of compliance at a lower cost, that would also be an appropriate option.

Ultimately, I recommend choosing the alternative that is the most financially efficient while ensuring full compliance with occupational safety and health regulations.
