How a 104-employee molding shop turned a near-miss into audit-ready compliance

After a near-miss, a mid-size molding shop requested a Provisio OSHA compliance audit. We identified 21 findings and a prioritized roadmap that helped leadership avoid an estimated $50K+ in potential OSHA penalties.

Customer situation

A 104-employee injection molding operation had grown quickly without a recent third-party OSHA review. Leadership knew their programs existed on paper, but floor practices, training records, and machine guarding had not been stress-tested against how an inspector would actually walk the plant.

Challenge

A serious near-miss raised leadership urgency: they needed an honest picture of exposure before OSHA did. Internal teams were stretched thin, and prior checklist exercises had not produced a prioritized, regulation-referenced remediation plan leaders could fund and track.

What Provisio did

Provisio EHS conducted a full OSHA-style compliance audit: facility walk-through, program and policy review, and recordkeeping checks aligned to how citations are written. Findings were severity-ranked with regulation references and practical corrective actions—21 mild violations documented, plus six strategic program improvements for sustained compliance.

Measurable outcome

Leadership received a defensible roadmap instead of a vague punch list. By closing high-severity items first, the site reduced inspection risk and estimated penalty exposure—conservatively over $50K in potential OSHA fines avoided—while giving operations clear owners and due dates for each action.
