Manufacturing operations fall under OSHA’s General Industry standards — a dense set of requirements around amputation hazards, energy control, chemical exposure, and more. A missed guard, an incomplete lockout procedure, or a stale hazard assessment isn’t a paperwork problem; it’s a recordable injury, a willful citation, or a claim that spikes your EMR and your premiums.
An EHS consultant who understands manufacturing doesn’t hand you a binder. We work your floor, your equipment, and your processes — and translate the standards into controls your operators will actually follow.
General Industry gap assessments across your facility — guarding, LOTO, HazCom, PPE, walking-working surfaces, and recordkeeping — with a prioritized fix list.
Machine-specific guarding assessments and lockout/tagout energy-control procedures — the two areas that drive the most serious manufacturing injuries and citations.
Process Safety Management support for facilities handling highly hazardous chemicals — from PHAs to mechanical integrity and management of change.
Ergonomic assessments of repetitive and manual-handling tasks to cut the sprains and strains that quietly drive your workers’ comp costs.
The required written programs plus practical, floor-level training that turns compliance into habit — not a one-time slideshow.
Build toward ISO 45001 or a right-sized management system that customers, insurers, and acquirers recognize as a mark of operational maturity.
