Safety Audits for Construction, Manufacturing, and General Industry

Professional Safety & Management (PS&M) delivers efficient, professional safety audits across construction, manufacturing, and general industry environments. Our team combines regulatory knowledge with real-world field experience to help organizations protect their people, their reputation, and their bottom line.

We work seamlessly in your existing systems or ours. Audits can be performed and documented in PS&M’s safety platform or directly within your preferred project management or EHS software, including tools such as Procore, CMIC, and other client-specific systems. This flexibility keeps our findings aligned with your workflows, reporting structure, and documentation requirements.

Comprehensive Safety Audits for Construction and Manufacturing

PS&M audits go beyond simple checklist inspections. Each assessment evaluates how your policies, field conditions, and day-to-day work practices align with applicable federal and state safety regulations, as well as owner and contract requirements. We tailor our approach to the environment and operations at each site, with typical focus areas including:

• Site and Facility Conditions: Housekeeping, access/egress, walking–working surfaces, material storage, and traffic flow

• Fall Protection and Elevated Work: Systems, equipment, procedures, and user practices in construction and industrial settings

• Equipment, Machinery, and Vehicles: Guarding, pre-use inspections, operator qualification, and mobile equipment operations

• Hazard Communication and Chemicals: Labeling, Safety Data Sheet access, chemical storage, and employee training

• Electrical Safety and Lockout/Tagout: Temporary and permanent electrical systems, GFCI use, LOTO procedures, and cord and panel conditions

• Machine and Hand Tool Safety: Safeguarding, use, inspection, and storage

• PPE and Respiratory Protection: Selection, use, condition, fit, and site- or process-specific requirements

• Confined Spaces and Hot Work: Identification, permitting, atmospheric monitoring, and fire prevention controls

• Emergency Preparedness: First aid, fire protection, alarms, evacuation routes, and incident response readiness

• Training and Documentation: Safety training records, job-specific qualifications, safety meetings, and required logs

  
  

For construction projects, we also provide focused reviews of scaffolding, excavation and trenching, crane and rigging operations, and work zone traffic control. For manufacturing and general industry, we emphasize production-line safety, machine guarding, ergonomic risk factors, and process-specific hazards.

A Structured, Efficient Audit Process

Every PS&M audit follows a clear, repeatable process designed to minimize disruption while maximizing value:

• Pre-Audit Planning: We align on your scope, schedule, operational constraints, and specific risk concerns.

• On-Site Assessment: A systematic walkthrough of work areas, processes, and tasks, supported by interviews, observations, and document reviews.

• Findings and Recommendations: Concise, prioritized items with clear descriptions, regulatory references where applicable, and practical corrective actions.

• Delivery in Your System: Results delivered in PS&M’s reporting format or directly into your chosen software, so your team can track, assign, and close actions without extra data entry.

• Follow-Up Support: Optional re-audits, coaching, and implementation support to help ensure corrective actions are effective and sustainable.

  
  

Adaptable to Any Sector and Project Type

Our experience spans private and public work, including commercial, industrial, institutional, and government projects. PS&M auditors are familiar with the expectations of owners, construction managers, and regulatory agencies, and we align our work with the requirements applicable to your jurisdiction and industry. That experience allows us to adapt quickly to different company procedures, project delivery methods, and documentation standards.
