Mock OSHA Audits That Expose Real Risk — Not Just Paperwork

Compliance tells you what the standard says. Risk tells you where people actually get hurt.

Why “Mock OSHA Audits” Miss the Point — and How We Do It Differently

Most audits focus on whether paperwork exists.

We focus on whether people are exposed.

Our Risk & Exposure Reviews use OSHA standards as guardrails, not blinders.

We identify where real work, real behavior, and real conditions create exposure — then map those risks back to the applicable OSHA requirements.

The result is not a checklist.

It’s a clear picture of where injuries, citations, and operational failures are most likely to occur — before OSHA ever shows up.

What We Look At During a Risk & Exposure Review

Not a checklist. Not a clipboard walk-through.

Our Risk & Exposure Reviews start by identifying how work is actually performed—not how it’s described in a policy or assumed by a standard.
 
We focus on real tasks, real conditions, and real decisions that create exposure before an incident ever occurs.
 
OSHA standards are used as guardrails, not the starting point. The goal is to surface risk early—before enforcement, injury, or litigation forces the conversation.

Hazard & Exposure Identification

We identify physical, operational, and behavioral hazards tied to actual tasks—including where exposure increases due to layout, equipment, traffic flow, fatigue, or shortcuts

Gap Analysis Against OSHA Standards

Once risks are identified, we map them to applicable OSHA standards to highlight gaps between real conditions and regulatory expectations—without forcing one-size-fits-all fixes.

Risk Prioritization

Findings are prioritized based on severity and likelihood—not volume. You’ll know which issues create real injury risk versus those that are administrative or cosmetic.

What You Receive After a Risk & Exposure Review

Clear findings. Defensible documentation. Actionable priorities.

Risk-ranked exposure findings

A prioritized summary of hazards and exposures based on severity and likelihood — not just visibility.

OSHA-referenced observations

Findings aligned to applicable OSHA standards to support compliance conversations and audits without turning the review into citations.

Operational gap analysis

Identification of process, workflow, supervision, and training gaps that increase exposure in real work conditions.

Leadership-ready summary

A concise report that can be shared with leadership, insurers, or legal counsel to demonstrate due diligence and informed decision-making.

Clear next-step recommendations

Practical options to reduce exposure — with decisions remaining in your control.

When a Risk & Exposure Review Makes Sense

A Risk & Exposure Review is not a compliance exercise.
It’s a diagnostic tool for organizations that want clarity before incidents, citations, or claims force the conversation.

This type of review is especially valuable when:

You’ve never had a true mock OSHA audit

Recent incidents or near-misses raised concerns

Growth, turnover, or operational changes increased exposure

Leadership wants visibility into real risk—not assumptions

Insurance carriers or clients are asking harder questions

 

If your goal is simply to “check the box,” this may not be the right approach.

If your goal is to understand exposure and reduce real risk, it usually is.
