On-Site Health & Safety Compliance Support for Major Pharmaceutical Manufacturer
Project Details:
KERAMIDA provided comprehensive on-site health and safety compliance support for a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility undergoing a significant renovation and build-out to accommodate new production processes and infrastructure. The multi-phase project included active construction within an operational GMP environment, presenting unique challenges in maintaining both worker safety and product integrity.
Our team served as a dedicated safety resource, delivering real-time regulatory guidance and oversight to ensure compliance with both OSHA construction (29 CFR 1926) and general industry (29 CFR 1910) safety standards.
Key responsibilities included:
Conducting daily site walkthroughs to identify and mitigate safety risks related to hot work, confined spaces, elevated work, and other contractor activities.
Coordinating safety protocols between internal operations teams and external contractors to prevent cross-contamination and ensure safe execution of renovation activities.
Reviewing and providing feedback on job hazard analyses (JHAs), safety plans, and permit-required work.
Supporting implementation of lockout/tagout (LOTO), respiratory protection, hazard communication, and chemical safety procedures relevant to both construction and ongoing plant operations.
Acting as a liaison with client EHS personnel and contractor safety representatives to promote consistent safety expectations and communication across trades.
Project Goals Achieved:
By integrating regulatory expertise with practical field presence, KERAMIDA helped the client proactively manage safety risks during a complex transitional period, maintaining compliance, minimizing disruptions, and supporting a culture of safety throughout the facility upgrade.
