OSHA inspection, citation, or serious incident?
Early decisions matter. Citations and agency notices have short deadlines. Call promptly so we can discuss what happens next.
The ACG difference
The law and the work.
In one conversation.
Safety decisions have legal consequences. Legal advice needs to account for what actually happens in the field. ACG brings both perspectives.
Outside law firms
Understand legal obligations, but may need time to learn how a jobsite or business actually works.
Argyle Consulting Group
Legal and field experience together, with advice focused on what is required, what matters, and what works.
Our approach
We tell you what’s required, what’s recommended, and what isn’t worth your money.
Required vs. recommended
We distinguish legal requirements, recognized standards, and best practices.
Proportionate to risk
We focus on the exposures that matter most, not paperwork for its own sake.
Written to hold up later
Clear documentation prepared with regulators, insurers, and future disputes in mind.

Common questions
Is ACG a law firm or a safety consultancy?
Both. ACG is a Utah professional limited liability company led by a licensed attorney. Legal services and safety consulting are separate services, and each engagement states in writing which one you’re receiving.
Do you work outside Utah?
Some safety and risk consulting can be performed outside Utah, depending on the assignment. Legal advice is limited to matters Devin is authorized to handle. If another state’s law applies, we address that before accepting the work.
What does it cost?
We agree on the scope and fee before beginning. Depending on the work, we use project fees, hourly arrangements, or monthly retainers.
Is my first conversation confidential?
Treat your first inquiry as an introduction, not a secure channel for confidential details. We check conflicts and confirm an engagement before accepting sensitive information. Contacting us does not, by itself, create an attorney-client relationship.
Can you help with OSHA or UOSH citations?
Yes, depending on the circumstances and the deadlines. We review notices, documents, and options for responding. Call promptly if there is an active inspection, citation, or incident.
Can you prepare safety training or site-specific plans?
Yes. Work can include project-specific safety plans, company programs, orientations, toolbox talks, and employee training.
