About This Industry
NAICS 332811: Coating, Engraving, Heat Treating, and Allied Activities / Manufacturing
This industry group comprises establishments that perform metal coating, engraving, heat treating, and polishing for the trade. Services include electroplating, anodizing, powder coating, and thermal spray coating.
Common workplace hazards include exposure to hexavalent chromium, cadmium, and other toxic metals in plating solutions, chemical burns from acids and caustics, and thermal burns from heat treating furnaces. Workers may also face risks from confined space entry in plating tanks and ventilation deficiencies.
Lockout/tagout (29 CFR 1910.147) is consistently among the most cited standards in manufacturing because it applies to virtually every piece of powered equipment. Common violations include lack of written energy control procedures for specific machines, failure to train authorized and affected employees, failure to conduct periodic inspections of energy control procedures, and using inadequate lockout devices. The standard's detailed requirements make full compliance challenging for facilities with diverse equipment.
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.
