Due to increasing inspections and fines, U.S. manufacturers have faced over $70 million in OSHA penalties within just one year. This trend poses financial and operational challenges for many facilities that aren't as compliant as they think. This checklist helps you audit your current safety practices, uncover gaps in managing workforce safety, and facility access, and take action before issues turn into fines.

One Platform For All Your Facility Needs

Emergency Readiness

Give your teams the confidence to act fast when it matters most. Strengthen preparedness, improve communication, and keep your facility ready for any emergency.

Visitor Management

Make every visitor interaction seamless and secure. Build trust, protect your people, and maintain visibility over who is on-site at all times.

Contractor Compliance

Reduce risk and simplify oversight by ensuring contractors meet your safety and compliance requirements—without adding to your administrative burden.

Many manufacturers face compliance gaps due to outdated or manual processes, particularly in managing third-party access, hazardous materials, and emergency response. Fortunately, there are practical steps you can take now to reduce risk and enhance compliance.

“Disorganized, decentralized data management hinders retrieval of essential information during audits, delaying access to compliance documents and increasing audit risks.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of OSHA records do facilities need to maintain?

Facilities are required to maintain accurate records, such as, incident reports, safety training documentation, hazard communication programs, and evacuation drills. Digital systems like FacilityOS help centralize and streamline access to these records for easier compliance and audit readiness.

How often does OSHA require safety training for employees and contractors?

OSHA requires training at the time of initial assignment, when new hazards are introduced, and at regular intervals depending on the specific standard. FacilityOS’s visitor management module, VisitorOS, can incorporate training material during the sign-in processes for both employees, contractors, and visitors and record a digital audit trail of completions to ensure no one slips through the cracks.

What triggers an OSHA inspection, and how can we prepare?

Inspections may be triggered by complaints, reported incidents, referrals, or scheduled targeting programs. Being inspection-ready means maintaining up-to-date documentation, clear safety protocols, and accurate records of visitor and contractor activity. This is something FacilityOS supports through real-time dashboards, digital audit trails, and automated compliance workflows.
