WHAT’S AT STAKE

Manufacturing is the second most OSHA-cited industry in the U.S.

Machine guarding failures, lockout/tagout violations, and unguarded chemical exposures are the citations that shut lines down and land companies in the Federal Register.

The average OSHA penalty for a serious manufacturing violation has more than doubled since 2016 — and repeat violations can reach seven figures.

MANUFACTURING ANNUAL SAFETY PROGRAM

Mid-Size Manufacturer Reduces Recordable Injuries by 38% in 18 Months

“Before USP, our OSHA recordable rate was costing us contracts. Eighteen months later, we’re using our safety record as a competitive differentiator.”
Frank G.
VP of Operations, 600-employee precision manufacturer, Midwest

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.
James Donovan
VP of Operations, Regional Construction Firm
