H1 Title: How Safety Consultants Prove ROI Before an EHS Director Will Meet

Content Summary: Write this proof-of-value post for the Industrial Safety cluster. The target search term is "safety consulting marketing." Open with the barrier: EHS directors will not take a first meeting until they believe the engagement pays for itself, so the marketing job is to demonstrate ROI before contact. Walk through the evidence a safety consultant or supplier should put in front of buyers, incident-cost framing, compliance-risk reduction, and outcomes described without naming clients or inventing figures. Include a short list of proof formats that survive procurement scrutiny. Write in first-person "I" voice throughout. National. Do not invent figures, percentages, dates, clients, or consultation stories, and do not use em dashes; use only statistics cited to a named public source or numbers Doug provides. Internal links, placed in the first and second H2 sections and sourced only from Content/internal_linking.xlsx: the /industrial-safety hub as the fixed anchor, paired with /industrial-safety-consulting and /safety. Follow the full Content/blog.md workflow, structure, and pre-publish checklist, including the "How Mansfield Can Help" closing with the /get-a-quote CTA and phone number (713) 936-5557.
