Industries / Manufacturing & Distribution

Make safety part of the operation.

Plants, fabrication shops, warehouses, and distribution centers where noise, machinery, forklifts, and pace all add up.

What we see here

Three situations that start the call.

Noise nobody has measured

When any worker's exposure may reach an 8-hour average of 85 dBA, OSHA requires monitoring. Exposures at or above that level require a hearing conservation program. Many sites have neither on file.

Programs that don't match the floor

Lockout, machine guarding, and hazard communication programs written years ago for equipment that has since changed.

People and trucks in the same aisles

Forklifts, order pickers, and pedestrians share the floor. Unmarked aisles, blind corners, and poor lighting are where the close calls happen.

What we do here

Identify. Correct. Educate.

Identify

  • Gap analysis
  • Noise surveys and personal dosimetry
  • Warehouse traffic and aisle assessments
  • Lighting surveys
  • Air and exposure monitoring
  • Fire and life safety assessments
See identify services →

Correct

  • Corporate safety manuals
  • ISO 45001, 14001, and 9001 management systems
  • Confined space programs
  • Hearing conservation programs
  • Pedestrian and forklift traffic plans
  • Written programs for lockout/tagout, hazard communication, and powered industrial trucks
  • Return-to-work programs
  • Emergency preparedness planning and Treo‑EX exercises
See correct services →

Educate

  • Forklift operator training and evaluations
  • OSHA 10 and 30-Hour General Industry
  • CPR, AED, and First Aid
  • Medical emergency response teams
  • Confined space entry and rescue

Warehouses

The warehouse floor, three ways.

Lanes

Where people and trucks go. Marked aisles, walkways, crossings, and traffic rules.

Lighting

Whether operators can see. Foot-candle readings by area, checked against target levels.

Forklift training

Whether operators know what to do. Classroom, hands-on practice, and an evaluation on your equipment.

Treo‑EX exercises

Exercise scenarios we build for this site.

Scenario 1

A chemical release on the production floor

Scenario 2

Evacuating a full shift and accounting for everyone

Scenario 3

Severe weather that shuts down shipping and receiving

Rules that apply

The requirements behind the work.

29 CFR 1910.95
Occupational noise, with monitoring when exposures may reach an 8-hour average of 85 dBA, and a hearing conservation program with audiometric testing and training at or above it.
29 CFR 1910.178
Powered industrial trucks, with operator training, an evaluation at least every three years, and lighting where trucks operate.
29 CFR 1910.176(a)
Permanent aisles kept clear and marked, with safe clearance where mechanical handling equipment runs.
29 CFR 1910.147
Control of hazardous energy, lockout/tagout, during servicing and maintenance, where unexpected startup or release of stored energy could cause injury.
29 CFR 1910.1200
Hazard communication, with a written program, labels, safety data sheets, and training.
Exposure limits
OSHA limits, with the NIOSH recommendation reported where it's stricter. Common exposures here include welding fume and hexavalent chromium, metalworking fluids, solvents, and noise.
29 CFR 1910.146
Tanks, pits, hoppers, and vessels are often permit-required confined spaces under 29 CFR 1910.146.
ISO 45001, 14001, and 9001
Not law, but often a contract requirement. Owners ask contractors and suppliers to show a certified or aligned management system.
Above the floor

Tenet recommends a consistent four-foot fall-protection threshold across mixed operations and construction sites, while addressing task-specific requirements and hazards.

What you get

What you walk away with.

  • Noise maps and personal exposure results
  • A lane and aisle layout with marking, crossings, and signage
  • Lighting readings by area against the target levels
  • Operator training and evaluation records
  • Written programs that match your equipment and floor
  • Exercises come with the exercise plan, an after-action report, and an improvement plan with owners and dates
How it starts

Clear scope. Clear price.

  • Tell us the site, the headcount, and the date.
  • Get scope, price, schedule, and deliverables in a written proposal.
  • Approve the service order. Your date is confirmed in writing.
Not sure what you have?

Start with a Gap Analysis.

We compare what applies to your site with what you have on file, and price what it takes to close each gap.
