The Challenge

Why Manufacturing Safety Is More Complex Than Ever

Reactive, Not Proactive

You spend so much time investigating incidents, filling out OSHA logs, and writing reports that you have no time to identify hazards before someone gets hurt.

Real Impact

Every recordable injury costs $40,000+ in direct costs, plus lost productivity, OSHA scrutiny, and increased insurance premiums.

Ergonomic Injuries Are Silent Killers

MSDs account for 30% of manufacturing injuries, but they're hard to spot until workers are already hurt. Traditional ergonomic assessments take 3-4 hours per task.

Real Impact

The average MSD claim costs $50,000+ and results in 12+ days away from work.

Complex Machinery = Complex Compliance

Machine guarding, lockout/tagout, electrical safety, chemical handling - you're juggling dozens of OSHA standards across hundreds of pieces of equipment.

Real Impact

OSHA 1910.147 (LOTO) violations average $8,000+ per citation and are among the most frequently cited standards.

Multi-Site Inconsistency

You manage safety across 3, 5, or 10 facilities. Each plant has different processes, different hazards, and different levels of safety culture.

Real Impact

Inconsistent programs mean you can't identify company-wide trends or share best practices across facilities.

Data Trapped in Spreadsheets

Your incident data is in Excel. Inspection checklists are on paper. Training records in another system. You can't see patterns or prove ROI.

Real Impact

You're making safety decisions based on gut feel, not data - and leadership doesn't see the value of your safety investments.

High Turnover = Constant Training

Manufacturing turnover rates hit 30-40% annually. You're constantly training new workers on safety protocols, but they're getting hurt before they build safe habits.

Real Impact

New hires in their first 90 days have 3x higher injury rates. Training costs combined with injury costs create unsustainable safety expenses.
