OSHA 1910.1030 requires employers to protect workers from bloodborne diseases like HIV, Hep B & C. Requiring safety measures, training, Universal Precautions, and Exposure Control Plans to anyone with potential contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. This requirement extends beyond healthcare workers and protects everyone, including janitorial staff.

OSHA defines a confined space as a space that is large enough to enter, has limited means of entry and exit, and not designed for continuous human occupancy. These spaces require further control if they have hazardous atmospheres, engulfment potential, or internal configurations to trap or cause serious injury. Think tanks, vats, silos, manholes, etc. Think you have a confined space? You may need a confined space program.

Have contractors onsite? Contractor safety programs define what contractors can and can’t do on your site, who is responsible to fix hazards, the safety rating of contractors you want to work with, all protecting you from liability in the event of an injury. It ensures you are all on the same page about how a site is set to run. This isn’t specific to construction sites, and applies to general industry as well.

OSHA requires that an employer with 10 or more employees have a written Emergency Action Plan kept in the workplace. Emergency Action Plans specify important information to your teams on what to do in the event of an emergency such as a:

• Fire

• Natural Disaster

• Active Shooter

• Bomb Threats

• Hazardous Spills

• Medical Emergency

As well as what to do following these emergencies and how you will account for those employees. Have less than 10 employees? These plans may be communicated verbally, though written procedures are always recommended so your team can review them as needed.

An ergonomic program ensures you are doing your part to prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders in the workplace. Think things like back injuries and strains from bending, lifting heavy items, reaching overhead, and working in awkward positions. Ergonomic Injuries are among the most frequently reported causes of lost time or restricted work time. We will help you assess root causes to ergonomic injuries, fix issues with business conscious solutions, and provide training to employees. Following a fix, it is equally important to evaluate progress and determine if your solution is effective. We can take care of it all.

Falls are among the most common causes of serious injuries and death in the workplace costing lives, and millions in costs to the employer.

OSHA requires fall protection at heights of 4 feet and higher in general industry, and 6 feet in construction. Additionally, regardless of heights, fall protection is required when an employee could fall into dangerous equipment or machines.

A Fall Protection Standard ensures your employees know when, where, and how to use fall protection devices.

Have chemicals, biological material, metal contaminated water, or other things you need to get rid of, and your just not quite sure if it should go down the drain or in the general garbage? You might need a hazardous waste program. We assist in the implementation and maintenance of hazardous waste programs “from cradle to grave” ensuring you have a program that effectively meets Federal and State guidelines.

Hazardous Communication programs, or HAZCOM for short, ensure that you are meeting OSHA regulations stating that employees must have information about the identities and hazards of chemicals in the workplace that is available and understandable. This usually entails the maintenance of Safety Data Sheets, labelled containers compatible with GHS guidelines, and training on how to handle chemicals properly, to name a few.

Hot work programs cover work that creates a spark or flame, welding, and cutting which creates a fire hazard. Hot work programs specify where hot work can occur, safety precautions when conducting hot work, and tools you should have on hand when hot work is needed.

Does your team work with chemicals? Have you ever inhaled something and you weren’t sure it was safe or not? Our Airborne Contaminants program ensures your teams utilize chemicals and particulate generating equipment with the proper PPE or in a manner which reducing inhalation concentrations below allowable limits set forth by OSHA. Airborne Contaminants Programs may require sampling to determine if inhaled concentrations are allowable or not.

Lock Out Tag Out or LOTO programs are in place when someone may be exposed to hazardous energy, like electricity, pneumatic, hydraulic, gravitational, chemical, etc. LOTO ensures that during the service or maintenance of machines or equipment with these hazards, the unexpected startup or release of stored energy does not result in serious injury or death to workers. LOTO was one of the most cited violations of 2025.

Our hearing is one of our most valuable assets, and irreversible once we lose it due to loud noises at work. Protecting our employees from loud noise, whether from constant or from short bursts, is critically important. OSHA requires that employers provide hearing protection when noise levels exceed 85 dBA over an 8-hour time weighted average. How do we know what our employees average noise exposure is over the course of an 8-hour shift? What if their shift is 10-hours? That’s where we come in. We can conduct personalized noise monitoring throughout the course of an employees shift. Want to know where the loudest place in your plant is? We do sound mapping as well. All rolled into your own tailored Hearing Protection and Conservation Program.

Lasers can cause damage in the blink of an eye, or less! High powered lasers used in manufacturing, research, and welding all contain enough power to cause damage to eyes, skin, and our building. Having a Laser Safety Program determines a safe method for employees to use lasers reducing risk to your employees and your building.

Respirators are used for a variety of hazards including chemicals, insufficient oxygen, harmful dusts, fogs, smokes, mists, gases, vapors, and sprays. Respiratory Protection Programs outline prerequisites for employees before they put on a respirator, how to use them safely, when they should be replaced, and how to ensure they fit properly. All necessary and required steps to an effective respiratory protection program.

OSHA has several other programs that are required by Federal and State Law. Contact us for an assessment to determine what programs might be required.
