OSHA Compliance Gap Assessments
A structured walkthrough and records review that shows which OSHA programs, training, and documentation your facility has, which are missing, and what to fix first.
When a Gap Assessment Makes Sense
A gap assessment compares what your facility actually has — written programs, training, records, and conditions on the floor — with the OSHA standards that apply to your operation. It is most useful when:
- You do not have a full-time safety director and are not sure what is missing
- A new safety or HR manager is inheriting programs they did not build
- The company has grown, moved, or added processes or equipment
- An inspection, customer audit, or insurance review is coming up
- You have received a citation or had a serious incident
How It Works
Before: Scope and Documents
Jeff learns about your operation, headcount, and hazards, agrees which programs are in scope, and asks for your written programs, training records, and OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 forms.
During: Walkthrough and Review
Jeff walks the facility, reviews the documents, and talks with supervisors and employees to see whether programs on paper match what happens on the floor.
After: Prioritized Action List
You receive a written list of findings, each tied to the relevant standard, ranked by priority, with a recommended action. Jeff walks through it with your team so you can assign owners and dates.

Example Findings
| Area | Standard | Finding | Priority | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Emergency planning | 1910.38 | Written plan predates the warehouse expansion | High | Update the plan and review it with every shift |
| Hearing conservation | 1910.95 | Six employees hired this year have no baseline audiogram | High | Schedule baselines within 6 months of first exposure |
| Bloodborne pathogens | 1910.1030 | First aid responders trained, but no written Exposure Control Plan | High | Write the plan and review it annually |
| Recordkeeping | 1904 | Annual summary (Form 300A) not posted February 1 to April 30 | Medium | Certify and post the summary each year |
| Hazard communication | 1910.1200 | Several secondary containers unlabeled | Medium | Label containers; refresh HazCom training |
Scheduling, Facility Requirements, and Pricing
Scheduling
The walkthrough happens during normal operations so Jeff sees real conditions. Document review can start before the visit.
What You Provide
Your written programs, training records, and OSHA logs; access to all work areas; and a contact who can answer questions about processes and staffing.
What Affects the Price
The size of the facility, the number of buildings or sites, how many programs are in scope, and travel for regional sites.
Relevant Experience
Jeff brings a clinical background, on-site manufacturing experience through Briotix Health, and hands-on knowledge of the programs most often missing in mid-sized facilities — hearing conservation, first aid and bloodborne pathogens, emergency planning, and injury recordkeeping.

Frequently Asked Questions — OSHA Gap Assessment
How is a gap assessment different from an OSHA inspection?
An inspection is carried out by OSHA and can lead to citations and penalties. A gap assessment is a private review you commission to find and fix problems first. The findings are delivered to you.
Which standards do you review?
The ones that apply to your operation, agreed before the visit. Common areas include emergency action and fire prevention plans, hazard communication, lockout/tagout, PPE, hearing conservation, bloodborne pathogens, walking-working surfaces, machine guarding, first aid, and injury recordkeeping.
What happens after the assessment?
You get a prioritized action list. Your team can close the gaps in-house, or Jeff can help with items like Emergency Action Plans, first aid training, and hearing testing.
We just received an OSHA citation. Can you help?
Yes. A focused gap assessment can confirm what corrective actions are needed for the cited items and check whether related programs have the same problems.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the facility and how many programs are in scope. Jeff agrees the scope and timeline with you before the visit.
