Five Questions to Ask Before OSHA Visits Your Plant
OSHA rarely calls ahead. If an inspector showed up at your Waco facility tomorrow, could you answer yes to all five of these?
- Are your written safety programs specific to your equipment and processes, or are they a generic template nobody has opened in years?
- Can you show training records for every employee, including forklift evaluations and hazard communication?
- Does every machine with hazardous energy have its own lockout/tagout procedure? Lockout/tagout and machine guarding are among the most cited OSHA standards in manufacturing.
- Are your OSHA 300 injury logs up to date, with the annual 300A summary posted from February 1 through April 30?
- Do you know whether your facility needs a TCEQ stormwater or air authorization, and how your hazardous waste is classified?
If you answered “no” or “not sure” to any of them, you’re not alone. Most of the companies we meet are in the same spot. Our free, 2-minute OSHA Inspection Readiness and Compliance Risk Calculator gives you a quick read, or you can request a free consultation.
Already Cited? What Happens in the Next 15 Working Days
Once you receive an OSHA citation, the clock starts. You have 15 working days to request an informal conference, negotiate, or formally contest. Every cited hazard also has to be corrected and documented by its abatement date, and repeat violations carry much higher penalties.
We help you read the citation, decide on the right response, fix and document each item, and rebuild the programs behind the violations so they don’t come back. If OSHA is involved right now, call 888-784-1405. For a step-by-step guide to your deadlines, options, and penalties, see our OSHA citation help page.
“Berg Compliance Solutions went ‘over and above’ in helping us through a recent OSHA enforcement investigation. Their support was great and instrumental in allowing us to prevent many citations, eliminate others, and greatly reduce our fines. And now they’re already helping us correct all of the problems, and to ensure that they don’t happen again.”

One-Time Project or Ongoing Partnership?
Some Waco companies need one thing done well. Others need someone to own the whole program. We do both.
A one-time project, like an assessment, a written program, or a round of training, is a good fit when you have a specific gap or a customer deadline. An ongoing partnership is the better fit when nobody in-house has the time or expertise to keep up, because a program that isn’t maintained falls out of date as people, equipment, and regulations change. Many clients start with a project and move to a partnership once they see the difference.
Which Agencies Regulate Waco-Area Companies
Texas has no state OSHA plan for private employers, so federal OSHA enforces workplace safety here. Companies in McLennan, Coryell, Hill, and Bosque counties fall under OSHA’s Fort Worth Area Office, while Bell, Falls, and Limestone counties fall under the Austin Area Office.
For environmental compliance, the area is covered by TCEQ’s Region 9 office in Waco, which handles air, water, and waste compliance for 20 Central Texas counties. Depending on what you discharge, your local sewer authority may also require an industrial wastewater permit. We work with these agencies regularly and help you understand exactly which rules apply to you.

What Our Clients Say
“As a small company we can’t dedicate a resource to becoming an expert in this field, so partnering with Berg in this capacity has been fantastic. They have driven our compliance schedule and audits to ensure we have a safe workplace for our employees.”
Kit Harper, Plant Manager, Lifelast
“This company has been in operation for years, and so the thought of implementing an EHS program seemed like a huge mountain to climb. But the structured process at Berg Compliance Solutions made it so easy to manage, and has been a huge benefit to the company.”
Mark McGee, Manager, Highland Lakes Quality Castings
“Two years ago our internal goal was to improve and legitimize our safety program. BERG worked with us the entire way, creating JHAs, training, presentations, and monthly inspection reports. Our program is outstanding now and we continue to partner with BERG for compliance, and training needs.”
John West, Sr. Human Resources Manager, KoMiCo Technology, Inc.

Questions Waco Business Owners Ask
Does Berg Compliance Solutions serve Waco?
Yes. Berg Compliance Solutions provides safety, EHS, and HSE consulting to manufacturing and construction companies in Waco and across Central Texas, including Temple, Belton, Killeen, and Hillsboro. Our consultants work with clients on-site at their facilities and job sites.
Which OSHA office covers Waco?
McLennan County, which includes Waco, is covered by OSHA’s Fort Worth Area Office. Nearby Coryell, Hill, and Bosque counties are also handled by Fort Worth, while Bell, Falls, and Limestone counties are handled by OSHA’s Austin Area Office.
Which TCEQ office covers Waco?
TCEQ’s Region 9 office in Waco covers McLennan County and 19 other Central Texas counties, including Bell, Coryell, Hill, Bosque, and Brazos.
What does a mock OSHA inspection include?
We inspect your facility the way an OSHA compliance officer would: walking the floor, reviewing written programs, checking training records and injury logs, and talking with employees. You get a written report of findings ranked by risk, so you know what to fix first.
What should we do after receiving an OSHA citation?
Note the deadlines right away. You have 15 working days to request an informal conference or contest the citation, and each hazard must be corrected and documented by its abatement date. Berg helps companies respond, close out citations, and build the programs that prevent repeat violations.
Is a safety consultant the same as an EHS or HSE consultant?
A safety consultant focuses on OSHA workplace safety. EHS and HSE consultants cover the same safety work plus environmental rules from TCEQ and the EPA, such as stormwater, air permits, and hazardous waste. Berg Compliance Solutions provides both.
We already have a safety manager. Do we still need a consultant?
Often, yes. Many safety managers cover a lot of ground alone, and environmental rules may fall outside their experience. Berg can support your in-house safety manager with assessments, written programs, training, and environmental compliance. If you need more hands-on help, our EHS and safety staffing service places a dedicated specialist at your plant.
How much does a safety consultant cost?
It depends on your operation and the help you need. Berg offers a free consultation, one-time projects, and ongoing partnerships for a fixed monthly fee, so there are no surprise invoices. After a short call, we’ll give you a clear number.
