The State of Manufacturing Workforce Health 2027
How manufacturers actually run occupational health, OSHA medical surveillance and injury management across multiple plants — and where fragmentation is quietly costing them the most.
Four findings from this year's benchmark
The median multi-plant manufacturer runs occupational health across 9 disconnected systems and vendors.
64% still track OSHA medical-surveillance due-dates on spreadsheets owned by individual plants.
Worker transfers between sites are the #1 source of repeated audiograms and exposure exams.
Manufacturers on a single governed record cut OSHA audit-prep time by an estimated 70%.
