Car wash safety and OSHA readiness
Safety problems are cheap to fix in advance and expensive to explain afterward. We walk your site, review how your team actually works around the tunnel, chemicals and equipment, check your training records and incident process, and give you a prioritized list of fixes with the training to back them up.
Who it's for

Straight answers
Frequently asked questions
What OSHA rules apply to car washes?
Car washes generally fall under OSHA's general industry standards. Common areas include hazard communication for chemicals, personal protective equipment, lockout/tagout for equipment maintenance, walking and working surfaces, and electrical safety. What applies depends on your operation and state, so confirm specifics with OSHA or a qualified safety professional.
How often should car wash employees get safety training?
At hire, before working a new station or task, and whenever equipment, chemicals or procedures change, with regular refreshers. Document every session.
Is this an official OSHA inspection?
No. It's an operator's practical review to find and fix gaps before they turn into injuries or citations. It isn't legal advice or a compliance certification. OSHA also offers a free, confidential On-Site Consultation Program for small businesses.
