A Real-World Approach to Workplace Safety and Health

Safety is more than a checklist; it’s part of how your facility operates every day. But knowing which project to tackle, now, can be a challenge.

Shive‑Hattery helps you move from identifying issues to fixing them. We focus on real conditions, clear options, and practical solutions.

Our industrial hygiene, environmental health, and engineering experts help you:

• Identify non-compliant infrastructure requiring upgrades or changes
• Integrate safety into both existing facilities and new designs
• Prioritize and recommend OSHA compliance decisions to budget-holders (because yours is never the only request for funds)

Workplace Safety & Health Services

We do more than interpret OSHA standards; we show how those standards apply to your equipment, layout, and processes. And we help you execute necessary projects, even while production continues.

We provide:

• Comprehensive workplace hazard assessments
• Exposure and health risk evaluations (chemical, physical and biological)
• Industrial hygiene surveys and walkthroughs
• Job task and process based risk reviews
• Safety Data Sheet (SDS) reviews and chemical inventories
• Evaluation of controls, work practices, and PPE
• Clear, risk-based recommendations and corrective actions
• Documentation ready for internal and regulatory use

Fall Protection, Access, & Structural Safety Studies

Many safety risks come from aging infrastructure or changing use. Shive‑Hattery provides targeted studies to evaluate fall protection systems, access routes, and structural safety elements.

We evaluate how your spaces are accessed, maintained, and used. We then identify gaps and provide practical solutions.

Our studies include:

• Fall protection assessments for anchors, tie‑offs, and guardrails
• OSHA ladder compliance studies with field verification to identify fixed, portable, and ship ladders
• Tunnel access and egress evaluations, including evaluation of clearances, shielding, ventilation considerations, and emergency access routes
• Platforms, catwalks, stairs, and elevated work areas
• Structural safety assessments tied to worker access and fall exposure
• Confined space identification and analysis

You receive clear findings, prioritized actions, and options you can implement, to support capital planning and compliance.
