Managing Hazards in High-Risk, High-Volume Environments

Manufacturing environments face unique EHS challenges:

• Exposure to noise, dust, chemicals, and airborne particulates
• Operating machinery, forklifts, and conveyor systems
• Fire hazards, confined spaces, and energy isolation
• Compliance with OSHA 1910, EPA air/water regulations, ISO 45001
• Complex production systems and employee shift safety

Custom Safety and Compliance Programs for Industrial Operations

• Industrial Hygiene Assessments Monitor noise, airborne particles, VOCs, fumes, and chemical exposure.
• Air Quality & Ventilation Reviews Evaluate facility air flow, filtration, and exposure points.
• Machine Safety & LOTO Programs Implement and audit Lockout/Tagout systems and equipment safety protocols.
• Hazard Communication (HAZCOM) Ensure proper labeling, SDS access, and employee training.
• OSHA Compliance Support Conduct facility audits, training, and citation prevention or resolution.
• Process Safety Management (PSM) Manage hazards related to chemicals and batch or continuous production.

Ergonomics & Material Handling Safety Identify risks related to repetitive motion, heavy lifting, and workstation design.
