Texas manufacturers are rarely as ready for an OSHA inspection as they think
Most manufacturers are doing their best on safety — but many have gaps they don't know are there. And that's exactly what OSHA looks for.
Takes about 20 minutes. You’ll leave knowing exactly where you stand.
Problem & Consequence
“Here’s what I hear most: “We’re probably fine.” And I get it — you’re busy, you haven’t had an incident, nobody’s shown up at the door. But the truth is, OSHA violations don’t announce themselves. Written programs that are out of date, training records that are incomplete, shop floor conditions that cross a line nobody knew was there — those aren’t obvious from the inside. I’ve walked into facilities where the owner was genuinely surprised by what we found. Not because they were doing things wrong. Because nobody had ever looked.”
If you haven’t looked for the risks yet, OSHA will — and you won’t control what happens next
“And when OSHA walks in before you’ve had a chance to look yourself — it’s never just a fine. The companies that get an inspection before they’re ready lose time, deal with mandatory corrective actions on someone else’s timeline, and spend weeks scrambling to fix things that could have been dealt with quietly. Believe me when I tell you — figuring it out after OSHA shows up is always more expensive.”
The Offer
Here’s where most manufacturers start: the FACTORY Risk Assessment. It’s a complete review of your OSHA, TCEQ and EPA compliance — shop floor hazards, written programs, training records, everything. You get a clear picture of where you stand, what your actual fine liability looks like, and what needs to happen first. Most assessments are completed within a week.
From there, a lot of clients ask us to just take it off their plate entirely. That’s FACTORY-Safe — safety and environmental partnership service. We essentially become your safety department. Fixed monthly fee, no surprises. But the assessment is the right place to start, and it stands on its own if that’s all you need.

“I’m Russell Carr, founder of Berg Compliance Solutions. Before I started this company, I owned a contracting company. We got a surprise OSHA inspection. We failed. I’ll never forget writing that check. I wasn’t angry at the agency. I was ashamed that I hadn’t kept up — and that I had unknowingly put my own employees at risk.
That experience, and other safety struggles, is what got me into this business. And for the past 30 years I’ve worked alongside Texas manufacturers helping them build safety programs, prepare for OSHA inspections, and navigate enforcement when it happens. I’ve been on both sides of the fence — as a business owner who got caught off guard, and as the person who helps companies make sure that doesn’t happen to them. I know what it costs. I know how hard it is to keep up when you’re also trying to run a business. And I know that doing it right is always less painful than the alternative.”
Our Approach
A mid-sized Texas manufacturer came to us before they had any OSHA issues — they just knew they were growing fast and their safety program hadn’t kept up. The assessment turned up more than 50 gaps they weren’t aware of that would have cost them over $200k. We addressed every one of them over 90 days. Two years later they landed a contract with a national OEM that required documented safety program compliance as a condition. They were ready.
We work with small manufacturers — most of our clients don’t have a dedicated safety person on staff, and that’s exactly who we’re built for.
You don’t need to have everything in order before you call us. That’s what the assessment is for.
Most clients start seeing clarity within the first week. The process is straightforward — we’ve done this a lot.
Most of our clients come to us because of OSHA. Most of them stay because of what a solid safety program does for the rest of their business.
