Eight industries. One standard. Most companies fail it.

The most cited industry in America.

Fall protection, ladder safety, and training records. Most roofing companies have none documented. A single undocumented fall is a citation, a lawsuit, and a carrier event — simultaneously.

Confined space. Chemical handling. Zero documentation.

HVAC technicians enter permit-required confined spaces and handle regulated refrigerants daily. The paperwork requirements are specific. Most companies cannot produce them on demand.

Excavation, trenching, and driver records.

Trenching fatalities are among the most preventable in construction. Plumbing companies also run commercial fleets. Both sides carry documentation requirements that most operators ignore.

Arc flash. Lockout/tagout. Unwritten procedures.

Electrical work carries the highest per-incident severity of any trade. NFPA 70E requires written procedures and documented training. Most electrical contractors have neither.

The industry OSHA calls "the most dangerous."

Tree work fatality rates exceed logging. ANSI Z133 requires documented training, equipment inspection records, and written hazard assessments. Enforcement is increasing.

Seasonal crews. Chemical applications. Fleet exposure.

Landscaping companies run mixed fleets, apply regulated chemicals, and hire seasonal workers with minimal onboarding documentation. Each gap is a separate liability vector.

Mold, lead, and asbestos. All require documentation.

Restoration work triggers EPA RRP rules, OSHA hazard communication requirements, and IICRC standards simultaneously. Most restoration companies document none of it consistently.

Driver qualification files. Hours of service. Vehicle inspection.

FMCSA requires a complete driver qualification file for every CDL and non-CDL driver operating commercial vehicles. Most fleet operators cannot produce a compliant file on demand.
