Stay ahead of compliance challenges on the factory floor
Manufacturing organizations face a dual burden: keeping up with OSHA safety regulations that protect workers on the line, while also managing complex HR compliance for a diverse, shift-based workforce. From wage and hour rules to machine safety, manufacturers operate in one of the most heavily scrutinized environments — and mistakes can lead to fines, shutdowns, or injuries that impact both people and profits.
BLR provides full-stack HR and EHS compliance solutions, verified by attorneys and industry experts, to help manufacturers reduce risk, improve safety, and maintain compliance across worksites and jurisdictions.
Key compliance challenges in manufacturing
- OSHA readiness: Constant inspections and evolving standards for machine safety, chemical exposure, ergonomics, and incident reporting.
- Shift worker compliance: Wage and hour requirements, overtime rules, and predictive scheduling laws for multi-shift operations.
- Multi-state HR regulations: Employment law differences across jurisdictions — from leave policies to workplace postings.
- Training at scale: Ensuring safety and HR training compliance across frontline and supervisory staff.
- Incident liability: The cost of workplace accidents, legal disputes, and reputational harm.
