Safety Program Development

PPE Hazard Assessment Program Development
OSHA requires employers to conduct and document a formal hazard assessment justifying their PPE selections — not just supply equipment and hope it fits the hazard. We evaluate your workplace tasks and exposures to determine the appropriate PPE for each role, then document the assessment with the content OSHA expects to see during an inspection. This program ties directly into our exposure assessment and respiratory protection work, ensuring your PPE choices are backed by real data rather than assumption.
Contaminated Site Health & Safety Plans (HASPs)
Contractors and subcontractors working on or near known contaminated sites — including soils impacted by chromium, benzene, and other metals or VOCs — need a site-specific Health & Safety Plan before work begins, not a generic template. We develop HASPs tailored to the actual contaminants and site conditions present, covering exposure control measures, PPE requirements, and emergency procedures, and then support implementation with real-time air monitoring during excavation and soil handling to confirm workers stay within safe exposure limits. This combined plan-and-monitoring approach gives GCs and subcontractors a single point of accountability for both the paperwork and the on-site verification that keeps a project compliant and workers protected.

Respirator Protection Plan Development
Respirators are one of the most heavily regulated pieces of PPE, and an improperly managed program is a common source of OSHA citations. We build respiratory protection programs from the ground up — covering hazard assessment, respirator selection, qualitative and quantitative fit-testing, and medical evaluation coordination. Whether your team needs N95s for particulate hazards or full-face respirators for chemical exposure, we make sure the program matches the actual hazard, not just the minimum paperwork.
Hearing Conservation Program Development
A hearing conservation program is required once noise monitoring identifies exposures at or above OSHA's action level — but building a compliant one involves more than a single audiogram. We develop complete hearing conservation programs covering audiometric testing oversight, hearing protection device (HPD) selection and fit-testing, and the recordkeeping OSHA expects to see during an inspection. The result is a program that holds up under scrutiny, not just a binder that checks a box.
Site Specific Safety Plan Development
Many general contractors and project owners require a Site-Specific Safety Plan before work begins — and a generic template rarely satisfies the review. We develop SSSPs tailored to your project's actual scope, site conditions, and hazards, covering emergency procedures, PPE requirements, subcontractor safety expectations, and site-specific hazard controls. A well-built plan doesn't just satisfy the submittal requirement — it gives your crews a real reference document once boots are on the ground.

Confined Space Program Development
A written confined space program is required wherever permit-required confined spaces exist, and it needs to reflect your specific spaces — not a generic template. We help you inventory and classify confined spaces throughout your facility, develop entry permit procedures, define atmospheric testing and ventilation requirements, and establish rescue planning that meets OSHA standards. Paired with our confined space entry training, this gives your team both the written program and the hands-on preparedness to work safely.

Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Plan Development
Uncontrolled energy is one of the most frequently cited hazards in manufacturing, and it's also one of the most preventable. We develop lockout/tagout programs that identify all energy sources on your equipment, establish machine-specific isolation procedures, and train affected and authorized employees on proper execution. A properly built LOTO program protects workers from unexpected startup or release of stored energy during service and maintenance — exactly the scenario OSHA's standard is designed to prevent.
JHA/AHA Development
Job Hazard Analysis (JHAs) and Activity Hazard Analysis (AHAs) break down each task on a project into its component steps, identify the hazards at each step, and define the controls needed to manage them — a requirement on most commercial and government construction projects. We develop task-specific JHAs/AHAs that hold up to GC and owner review, giving your crews a clear, practical reference for how to perform high-risk activities safely rather than a document built to satisfy a checklist.
Combustible Dust Management Program Development
Combustible dust hazards are frequently overlooked until an incident occurs, despite being addressed by NFPA 652 and increasingly scrutinized by OSHA. We help facilities that generate metal, wood, or organic dust develop a combustible dust management program — covering dust hazard analysis, housekeeping protocols, and control measures to reduce explosion and fire risk. Particularly relevant for foundries and manufacturers handling fine particulate materials.
Silica Exposure Control Plan Development
OSHA's respirable crystalline silica standard requires a written exposure control plan for operations that generate silica dust, and that plan needs to be grounded in real exposure data — not guesswork. Building on our air quality sampling results, we develop silica exposure control plans that identify affected tasks, specify engineering controls and work practices, and document the respiratory protection requirements needed to keep exposures below the permissible limit. A common need for foundries, manufacturers, and construction operations involving concrete, masonry, or metal casting.

We provide on-site services across Maryland, Washington D.C., Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, and Delaware. Our remote and virtual consulting services are accessible nationwide, ensuring that help is always available when you need it.
