Machine Shop/Carpentry Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Machine Shops & Carpentry Shops: Machine Shops and carpentry companies have been under OSHA’s microscope recently. OSHA compliance inspectors are required to make a certain percentage of their visits in machine shops and carpentry operations due to ongoing concerns related to amputations brought about by unguarded machinery and rotating parts.
Machine shops also seem to get hit hard with OSHA compliance citations associated with inadequate safety programs, substandard training related to forklifts, hazardous chemical communications, and personal protective equipment selection and use.
Businesses in this industry have typically been found to operate in environments that are noisy, hot at times, and may be exposed to environments that would require respiratory protection, all of which are big financial penalty targets for OSHA compliance officers.

Janitorial Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Janitorial Operations: Whether employees are cleaning offices, prepping apartments and new construction homes prior to move-in, or cleaning hospitals, janitorial services have an abundance of safety concerns. Back injuries, slips and falls, ergonomics concerns, chemical usage, and personal protective equipment tend to be common issues in need of OSHA compliance safety consulting services.
OSHA compliance officers hit janitorial services hard, regardless of the size of the operation. A typical area where OSHA penalizes janitorial companies is with regard to employee safety training. All safety training needs to be documented, regardless of the industry, and the employer must demonstrate each employee understood the training.
The safety consultants at Safety First Consulting will ensure your janitorial operations are in full OSHA compliance with expert safety consulting, OSHA compliance safety programs, OSHA compliance safety training, OSHA compliance industrial hygiene sampling, and OSHA compliance safety inspections.

Theatre Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Theatres: Live performance theatres and auditoriums are among the industries that are no longer partially exempt from OSHA compliance requirement to keep OSHA 300 logs. However, theatres and auditoriums have always been required to maintain OSHA compliance, and with little wonder.
Set design and construction is a creative and time-crunched job with a wide variety of skills needed to accommodate the show’s needs as well as constant changes. Set builders use paint and solvents, hand and power tools, welding equipment, and are required to handle heavy and awkward materials. Safety concerns and hazards including rigging, falls, being struck by objects, material handling equipment such as forklifts and hoists, ergonomics issues, as well as fire and emergency preparedness are among the top concerns – not just for set builders, but for all theatre and auditorium employees.
After a new rule has been put in place, compliance officers typically spot checks for OSHA compliance. Theatres and auditoriums should be expecting OSHA compliance officers to be visiting to do either a spot check of the company’s OSHA 300 logs, a partial inspection of the facilities, or a full inspection of OSHA compliance safety obligations.
The safety consultants at Safety First Consulting will ensure your theatre and auditorium operations are in full OSHA compliance with expert safety consulting, OSHA compliance safety programs, OSHA compliance safety training, OSHA compliance industrial hygiene sampling, and OSHA compliance safety inspections.

Medical Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Medical Operations: Patients aren’t the only ones in health care operations that are injured. Healthcare providers are constantly at risk to bloodborne pathogens from needle sticks and exposure to bodily fluids. Transferring patients from bed to bed, or bed to chair, can easily result in back strains or other injuries from falls. Chemicals used to keep hospitals clean are prevalent and workers need to be trained how to use chemicals properly while protecting themselves from exposure. Just because a hospital hires a contractor to handle cleaning duties doesn’t absolve the hospital from ensuring everyone using chemicals has the proper training and equipment to do so safely.
OSHA compliance officers targets medical provider operations to ensure they have a Bloodborne Pathogen program and all required OSHA compliance training in place, along with an OSHA compliance emergency action plan and resolution to all known and visible hazards.

Landscaping Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Landscaping Operations: Exposure to the summer heat is only one of the many safety concerns related to the Landscaping industry. Rotating blades, working near vehicular traffic, projectiles from machinery, falls from trees or trailers, as well as the most hazardous activity of all for landscapers: Driving.
All day, landscapers pile into vehicles and drive from jobsite to jobsite, oftentimes without bothering to buckle their seatbelts. They are on the road nearly as much as they are tending lawns, so the odds of getting into a serious accident is greatest while driving than any other.
OSHA compliance officers see Landscaping companies as easy targets for personal protective equipment (PPE) violations. Depending on the work being performed, PPE should include sturdy and/or steel toe boots, eye protection, hearing protection, and sometimes gloves, hard hats and special clothing.
The safety consultants at Safety First Consulting will ensure your landscaping operations are in full OSHA compliance with expert safety consulting, OSHA compliance safety programs, OSHA compliance safety training, OSHA compliance industrial hygiene sampling, and OSHA compliance safety inspections.

Hotel & Resort Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Hotels & Resorts: Hotel restaurants, housekeeping services, swimming pool maintenance and landscaping operations all have safety and OSHA compliance concerns, which is why OSHA compliance officers issue a great deal of citations to Hotels and Resorts.
Like many businesses that do not have a Safety Director, some Hotels and Resorts assign OSHA compliance safety duties to the HR Manager, who may already be taking on more than just traditional HR duties. Not to worry, though. Safety First Consulting allows you to rest easy as we manage your OSHA compliance safety program for you.

Restaurant Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Restaurants: Restaurants are typically high-energy establishments with good atmosphere, great food and fun for diners. It’s also an industry with many hazards. Cuts, burns, and slips/trips/falls are just a few of the many challenges faced by restaurant managers and employees.
Before 2011, OSHA compliance officers didn’t pay much attention to restaurants, basing most of their visits to restaurants on fatalities and employee complaints. Since 2011, however, that has changed. OSHA compliance inspections at restaurants has risen by 49% and the OSHA compliance inspectors want restaurants to know they are a targeted industry.

Trucking Operations Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Trucking Operations: Trucking is regulated by the Department of Transportation (D.O.T.), but activities outside of the truck cab are regulated by OSHA. Securing equipment loads, protection for drivers while they are outside their trucks, and operations in the service shop all are subject to visits from OSHA compliance officers.
Slip, trip and fall prevention, welding activities, forklift and hoist use, hearing conservation, respiratory protection, personal protective equipment, and hazardous chemical communication are common issues found by OSHA compliance officers during their visits to trucking companies.

Bank Safety Consulting
OSHA Compliance Safety Consulting for Banks: What could go wrong at a bank besides a robbery? Having a well-rehearsed bank robbery response plan in place along with adequate training is just the beginning of the OSHA compliance responsibilities for financial institutions.
Many banks our safety consultants visit have inadequate fire prevention and emergency preparedness plans and training in place. We also find electrical issues involving overuse of circuits and improper use of extension cords that are easy targets for OSHA compliance officers. Ergonomics also comes into play with computer use and repetitive motions and tasks.

Retailers get fined many times by OSHA compliance officers for blocking or partially blocking exit ways with empty boxes, carts or other equipment. OSHA compliance officers also like to issue heavy penalties to stores for blocking electrical panels. Most retail companies concentrate on patron safety, which is good, but they can sometimes overlook the need for employee safety and OSHA compliance.
