Fragmented safety programs leave gaps.

In pharma, safety isn’t just an OSHA requirement, it’s a GMP requirement.

USP builds annual safety programs for pharmaceutical manufacturers, biotech firms, and clinical research operations, from chemical exposure compliance to cleanroom safety protocols. One partner, every coverage gap closed.

WHAT’S AT STAKE

A safety violation in pharma can trigger an FDA action — not just an OSHA citation.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing sits at the intersection of OSHA, FDA, and DEA regulatory oversight.

Chemical exposure events, containment failures, and PPE compliance gaps don’t just generate OSHA citations, they can trigger FDA 483 observations and Warning Letters that halt production. The cost of a single audit finding in pharma dwarfs the cost of any OSHA fine.

HOW WE DO IT

A program designed to survive an FDA audit — not just an OSHA inspection.

ANNUAL SAFETY PROGRAM

Specialty Pharma Manufacturer Passes FDA Inspection with Zero Safety-Related Observations

“Our previous safety program was built for OSHA. USP built one designed to hold up in front of both OSHA and FDA. We passed our inspection clean for the first time in four years.”
James Donovan
VP of Quality & Compliance, specialty pharmaceutical manufacturer, Mid-Atlantic

FROM THE FIELD

What our clients are saying after one year

Before USP, we were reactive — waiting for something to go wrong before we fixed it. After the first year of the program, we hadn’t had a single OSHA citation. That’s never happened in our 20-year history.

VP of Operations, Regional Construction Firm
