CTI is a trusted environmental and safety consulting partner to manufacturing facilities across a broad range of industries. We support our clients in navigating complex Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) regulations while protecting their workforce, operations, and long-term viability. While CTI provides the full spectrum of services expected from a leading EHS consulting firm, we are particularly recognized for specialized capabilities that extend beyond conventional compliance support.
Combustible Dust Safety
Combustible dust hazards remain one of the most significant and frequently misunderstood risks in manufacturing. In alignment with applicable NFPA standards, building and fire codes, and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements, CTI delivers end-to-end combustible dust services. Our capabilities include Dust Hazard Analyses (DHAs), dust explosibility testing, explosion protection system sizing and specification, and the development of practical mitigation strategies designed to reduce risk and improve compliance.
Machine and Robotic System Safety
Despite best intentions, machinery and robotic systems are not always designed or implemented with adequate safeguards. The result can be serious injuries, equipment damage, and increased insurance exposure. CTI conducts on-site Machine Hazard Analyses and Robotic System Risk Assessments to identify safeguarding gaps in accordance with applicable OSHA and ANSI standards. Beyond assessment, we develop conceptual safeguarding solutions and can fabricate and install engineered improvements—enhancing worker safety while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.
Air Permitting Assessments
Determining whether a facility requires a new or modified air permit can be complex, hinging on regulatory thresholds, emission calculations, and production capacity. CTI leverages long-standing working relationships with state and federal environmental agencies to assist facilities in evaluating their air permitting obligations. Our services include emissions calculations, contaminant mapping, and regulatory applicability assessments to support defensible, well-informed permitting decisions.
Hazardous Material Determinations
Manufacturing operations often involve a wide range of raw materials, intermediates, and wastes, each with distinct regulatory requirements. CTI works closely with facilities to evaluate material characteristics throughout the production lifecycle. We help establish compliant procedures for material handling, waste management, and required reporting or permitting in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations—reducing risk while ensuring regulatory clarity and consistency.
At CTI, our focus is not only on compliance, but on delivering practical, defensible solutions that align safety, environmental stewardship, and operational performance for today’s manufacturing environment.
