Industries We Serve
Experience across the operations where safety actually gets tested.
Bolster's founder has worked inside factories, construction sites, farms, hospitals, laboratories, vessels, vehicle fleets, heavy-equipment operations, and OSHA offices.
01
Manufacturing
Heavy and light/assembly manufacturing, foundries, and die casting — environments where machine energy, heat, and material handling concentrate risk.
Key exposures
- Machine safeguarding & robotics
- Control of hazardous energy (LOTO)
- Noise & air exposure monitoring
- Powered industrial trucks
02
Machine Shops & Fabrication
Job shops and fab operations where the work — and the hazard profile — changes with every order that hits the floor.
Key exposures
- Point-of-operation guarding
- Welding, cutting & hot work
- Metalworking fluids & fume
- PPE hazard assessments
03
Food Manufacturing
Production environments that layer sanitation chemistry, wet floors, and line speed on top of standard machine risk.
Key exposures
- Sanitation chemical safety
- Machine guarding on lines
- Slips, trips & wet processes
- Cold environments & ergonomics
04
Laboratories
Research and QC labs where exposures are low-volume but high-consequence, and documentation is half the program.
Key exposures
- Chemical hygiene plans
- Fume hood & ventilation checks
- Laser safety risk assessments
- Emergency response planning
05
Construction
All trades and all phases of work — from site-specific plans at bid time to jobsite audits mid-build.
Key exposures
- Site-specific safety plans
- Fall protection
- Subcontractor management
- OSHA 10/30 training
06
Fleet, Vehicle & Equipment
Non-DOT and DOT fleets, and off-road equipment operations — where driver qualification and maintenance discipline are the program.
Key exposures
- DOT & non-DOT compliance
- Driver qualification files
- Mock DOT audits
- Off-road equipment safety
07
Agriculture
Planting and harvesting operations, livestock, agricultural equipment, feed mills, fisheries, and arborists — seasonal risk that never runs on a factory schedule.
Key exposures
- Equipment & machinery safety
- Grain & feed mill hazards
- Animal handling
- Seasonal workforce training
08
Combination Operations
Manufacturing with construction, installation, and service divisions. Construction with trucks and DOT risk. Field-service crews working on someone else’s site.
Key exposures
- Multi-standard programs (1910 + 1926)
- Field-service & host-site safety
- DOT overlay on construction
- One system, every division
Combination Risk
Operations rarely fit one category — programs shouldn't either
Manufacturing with construction, installation, and service divisions. Construction with trucks and DOT risk.
Bolster builds systems that account for how your operation actually blends categories — not the single SIC code it files under. One system, every division, no gaps between standards.
