The Problem

OSHA Doesn't Care That You Can't Afford a Safety Director

Most warehouses between 50 and 500 employees don't have a dedicated safety person. But OSHA inspectors don't ask if you have one — they just write citations.

$16,550
Per Serious Violation
That's the minimum for a single citation in 2026. Most warehouse inspections result in 5–10 citations. Do the math.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the free consultation include?

A 30-minute video call where we walk through your facility's specific risk profile, identify your most immediate OSHA exposure points, and determine whether ACES is the right fit for your operation. No sales pitch. If we're not a fit, we'll tell you who is.

How is this different from hiring a safety consultant?

Traditional consultants bill hourly and show up when you call them. ACES is a flat monthly retainer — we audit your facility every month, whether you think you need it or not. That's how compliance gaps get caught before OSHA finds them, not after.

What's the term commitment?

Month-to-month. No annual contracts, no cancellation fees. If we're not delivering value, cancel anytime. Most clients stay because the work is worth more than the retainer — not because they're locked in.

What does it cost?

Pricing depends on your facility size, the level of coverage you need, and whether you add Emergency Support or a Fractional Safety Director. Every engagement is a flat monthly retainer with no long-term contract — and it's a fraction of the cost of a full-time EHS director or a single serious OSHA citation. We'll walk through exact pricing for your operation on your free consultation, once we understand your specific needs.

What OSHA standards do you audit against?

All 135+ applicable sections of 29 CFR 1910 (General Industry) — walking-working surfaces, fire protection, electrical, powered industrial trucks, hazard communication, PPE, emergency action plans, and more. Every finding in your report cites the specific CFR code.

How does the AI photo analysis work?

You send photos of your facility — aisles, storage, equipment, electrical panels, exits, chemical storage. Our AI cross-references every image against every applicable OSHA standard and flags hazards with draft findings. Then a senior safety professional personally reviews every flagged finding before it lands in your report. AI does the scale. A human does the judgment.

Is AI doing the work, or is a human?

Both. AI handles scale — analyzing 50+ photos against 135+ standards in minutes instead of days. A senior safety professional handles judgment — every AI-flagged finding gets human review before it goes into your report. You're never receiving raw AI output. You're receiving expert-validated findings.

Why should I trust an AI system with something this serious?

Because AI isn't the decision-maker — the safety professional reviewing your report is. The AI's job is to look at every photo without getting tired, distracted, or rushing. The human's job is to validate what AI flags and make the call on severity, priority, and corrective action. You're hiring a safety professional who uses AI to work at 10x scale — not an AI pretending to be a consultant.

What happens if OSHA actually shows up during our engagement?

Your monthly compliance reports serve as documented evidence of due diligence — one of the strongest defenses in any OSHA inspection. If an inspector arrives, contact us immediately. We'll walk you through what to expect, what to say, and what to provide. That's included in your retainer.

Can you guarantee we won't get cited?

No — and be cautious of anyone who says they can. OSHA inspectors make judgment calls, and no consultant controls those calls. What we guarantee is that your facility will be inspection-ready every single month, your hazards will be documented and tracked with CFR citations, and you'll have a paper trail proving ongoing due diligence. That's the strongest position any warehouse can be in when an inspector walks through the door.

Do you come on-site, or is this entirely remote?

Primarily remote via photos and video calls — that's how we keep the cost a fraction of a full-time hire. On-site audits are available across Pennsylvania. For remote-first engagements, a member of your team walks the floor with their phone camera, and we handle everything else.

Who owns the audit data?

You do. Every report, every photo, every finding is your property. We keep copies for our records and to track improvement over time, but you can request a full data export or deletion at any time.

What types of warehouses do you serve?

Warehouses, distribution centers, fulfillment centers, cold storage, 3PLs, and manufacturing facilities with significant warehousing operations. Typical client size is 50–500 employees. If you're smaller or larger, reach out anyway — we may still be a fit.

How quickly can we start?

First audit within one week of signing. No software to install, no logins to set up, no training required for your team. You send photos, we deliver a report.
