About This Industry
NAICS 321920: Other Wood Product Manufacturing / Manufacturing
This industry group comprises establishments manufacturing wood products not classified elsewhere, including manufactured homes, prefabricated wood buildings, wood containers, pallets, and miscellaneous wood products.
Common workplace hazards include amputation and laceration risks from saws, nailers, and woodworking machinery, wood dust exposure, and noise-induced hearing loss. Workers may also face risks from forklift operations, fire hazards from wood dust and shavings, and chemical exposure from adhesives.
Plastics, chemical, and nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing face hazards including chemical exposure requiring respiratory protection (29 CFR 1910.134), process safety management for highly hazardous chemicals (29 CFR 1910.119), machine guarding on extrusion and molding equipment (29 CFR 1910.212), and noise exposure requiring hearing conservation programs (29 CFR 1910.95). Combustible dust is also a significant hazard in many of these operations.
Data Source and Methodology
Data synced dailyData on this page comes from the U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA enforcement database, accessed via the DOL public data API. Records are updated daily. We strive for accuracy, but errors in data processing or establishment grouping are possible. Penalty amounts reflect the latest penalty amounts on record in the DOL database and may differ from initial assessments or final amounts after informal conference, settlement, or judicial review. Company pages group inspection records by normalized employer name, city, and state as reported in OSHA records. That grouping is deterministic and non-fuzzy, but it is not a universal legal-entity identifier. If you believe any record is inaccurate, please report it and we will investigate. This product uses the DOL Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the DOL. For official and authoritative records, visit osha.gov.
