Machine guarding, LOTO (the #1 OSHA citation), welding fumes including hexavalent chromium for stainless, forklift 1910.178, and CNC operations. Every hazard documented. Ready in 1–3 business days.
Manufacturing and fabrication operations face the highest concentration of OSHA citations of any industry. Your documents address the specific hazards inspectors look for — starting with LOTO, the #1 cited standard in general industry.
29 CFR 1910-compliant safety program built around the specific hazards of a Texas manufacturing or fabrication operation.
29 CFR 1910.1200 for a manufacturing environment — cutting fluids, welding gases, solvents, lubricants, and cleaning chemicals all covered.
Day 1 training covering the hazards a new shop floor employee encounters before they've learned which shortcuts to avoid.
Texas summer heat in a non-climate-controlled fabrication shop is an OSHA General Duty Clause exposure. Region 6 inspectors ask about it.
Six pre-completed Job Hazard Analyses for the highest-risk tasks in a manufacturing or fabrication shop — documented before an incident forces the conversation.
LOTO alone accounts for nearly 3,000 injuries and 50 fatalities per year nationally. Your documents cite the standards OSHA inspectors check first.
Lockout/Tagout — the control of hazardous energy. Consistently the #1 or #2 most cited OSHA standard in general industry. Your LOTO program documents energy sources, isolation procedures, and authorized employee training.
Machine guarding. Point of operation guards, nip points, rotating parts, flying chips. Your Written Safety Plan documents guard requirements by machine type and the inspection protocol before each shift.
Powered industrial trucks — forklifts. Requires operator certification, pre-use inspection, and a written program. Your WSP includes the forklift program with operator checklist and training acknowledgment.
Air contaminants and hexavalent chromium. Welding stainless steel produces Cr(VI) — a known carcinogen with a PEL of 5 µg/m³. Your HazCom Program addresses hex chrome exposure documentation and ventilation requirements.
Texas Department of Workers' Compensation requires injury reporting within 8 business days. Manufacturing operations have higher injury frequency — your documents ensure the reporting obligation is documented and understood.
OSHA's heat enforcement basis for non-climate-controlled fabrication shops. Region 6 expands inspections to heat hazards when conducting any inspection. Your Heat Illness Prevention Plan is the documented defense.
These sections don't exist in a general safety template. They address the specific hazards inspectors look for in a Texas machine shop or fabrication facility.
A complete LOTO program under 29 CFR 1910.147 — not just a policy statement. Documents energy types present in your facility (electrical, pneumatic, hydraulic, mechanical, thermal), authorized employee designation, the six-step lockout procedure, group LOTO for complex equipment, and the annual LOTO audit requirement. Includes a machine-specific energy isolation worksheet the buyer fills in for each piece of equipment. This is the document OSHA asks for first in a manufacturing inspection.
Welding austenitic stainless steel produces hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) fumes — a known human carcinogen regulated under 29 CFR 1910.1026 with a PEL of 5 µg/m³ and an Action Level of 2.5 µg/m³. Your HazCom Program includes a dedicated Cr(VI) section documenting the exposure source, required engineering controls (local exhaust ventilation), respiratory protection (if ventilation is inadequate), and the medical surveillance trigger. This section doesn't exist in a generic template.
Overhead lifting is one of the highest-severity risks in fabrication — a dropped load causes fatalities and catastrophic property damage. The crane/hoist JHA documents the pre-lift inspection (hook, chain, rating), rigging requirements (sling angles, load calculations), lift zone exclusion (no personnel under suspended loads), signal communication protocol, and emergency lowering procedure. Includes a crew sign-off block so each lift is documented before it happens, not after an incident forces the review.
Manufacturing operations face the highest citation rates of any industry. The Complete Safety System costs $597. A single serious OSHA citation costs up to $16,131. The math is clear.
