Do you help with warehouse safety compliance?

We support the HR side of safety and wage-and-hour compliance — policies, documentation, and consistent practices — and help you keep records that protect the business.

How do you reduce turnover in physical roles?

Better onboarding, clear expectations, and early employee-relations attention keep more new hires past the first weeks, where most turnover in these roles happens.

Are we too small to have OSHA recordkeeping obligations?

Possibly for the routine injury log — employers with ten or fewer employees are generally exempt from that — but the exemption does not cover everything. Serious incidents carry reporting duties regardless of size, and the underlying duty to provide a safe workplace applies from your first employee.

An employee reported a safety concern and now their supervisor wants to move them. Is that a problem?

Potentially a serious one. Moving, disciplining or reassigning someone shortly after they raise a safety concern looks like retaliation whether or not it was intended, and retaliation is often treated more severely than the underlying issue. Involve us before the change is made rather than after.

Why it matters

Staffing and safety are the whole game

High-volume hiring, physical work, and seasonal swings make industrial and warehouse HR a constant balancing act.

Warehouse and industrial employers face relentless hiring needs, high turnover, and serious safety obligations — all with hourly, physically demanding roles. We help you build hiring and onboarding that keeps pace with demand, retention practices that slow the churn, and the compliance and policy foundation that protects the business.

The payoff is an operation that stays staffed through demand swings, with the safety and policy foundation to match — instead of a revolving door that never quite catches up.

After an incident

What has to happen when someone gets hurt

The hours after a workplace injury shape everything that follows — the claim, the record, and whether it becomes a citation.

Most employers have recording and reporting obligations that begin immediately. Serious outcomes carry short reporting deadlines to OSHA, and routine recordable injuries have to be logged on a defined schedule. Employers with ten or fewer employees are generally exempt from the routine log, though the serious-incident reporting duties still apply — OSHA's small business resources set out where the lines fall.

The part employers most often get wrong is what happens around the incident rather than the paperwork: making sure the report itself does not attract retaliation, keeping the investigation focused on cause instead of blame, and handling any return-to-work conversation as an accommodation question rather than a capability one. Those decisions are made in the first day or two, usually by a supervisor, and they are the ones that come back.

Reporting deadlines met for serious incidents
Recordable injuries logged on schedule
Reporting kept free of retaliation risk
Return to work handled as an accommodation question
