Built at the intersection of mission and commercial reality

The harm reduction field has a split personality. On one side: nonprofit advocacy organizations with real mission but limited reach, operating on grants, and unable to deliver at the scale businesses and municipalities actually require. On the other: B2B safety vendors selling product catalogs — first aid kits, eyewash stations, safety signage — without the credentialing, training, or program architecture that makes any of it meaningful.

Phronetic Industries was built to occupy the space neither could. We are a professional services organization, not a charity and not a product catalog. We deliver enterprise-grade harm reduction programs that meet the compliance standards your auditors, regulators, and legal counsel recognize — while staying grounded in the genuine mission of keeping people alive and reducing harm in every context where we work.

The name reflects that intention. Phronesis is the Aristotelian concept of practical wisdom — knowing not just what is right, but how to act rightly given the actual circumstances you face. That is what we bring to every engagement: not a template, not a product, but a considered professional judgment about what your organization actually needs.

This is not harm reduction as a charity. This is harm reduction as a professional discipline — credentialed, scalable, and designed to last.

The regulations your programs are actually held to

We do not describe ourselves as "OSHA-compliant" as marketing language. These are the specific standards each of our programs is designed against — because that is the only way compliance claims mean anything.

OSHA 29 CFR 1910.151

General Industry First Aid

Our first aid compliance programs are designed against the General Industry First Aid standard, including supply requirements, trained personnel criteria, and the documentation employers are expected to maintain.

OSHA General Duty Clause

Hazard Recognition and Response

Overdose response and harm reduction programs are structured to satisfy General Duty Clause obligations for employers in industries where opioid-related risk is a recognized workplace hazard.

ANSI/ISEA Z308.1

First Aid Kit Content Standard

First aid supply programs are configured to the ANSI/ISEA Z308.1 standard, which governs the minimum required contents of workplace first aid kits by risk classification.

DOT 49 CFR Part 40

Drug and Alcohol Testing Compliance

Harm reduction and substance programs for DOT-regulated employers are designed within the framework of 49 CFR Part 40, which governs drug and alcohol testing for safety-sensitive positions.

State Certification

Naloxone Standing Order Programs

Naloxone training and distribution programs are structured in compliance with applicable state standing order statutes, which govern community naloxone access without an individual prescription.

Practitioners, not generalists

Phronetic Industries is built by people who have worked at the intersection of public health, workplace safety, and organizational compliance — not career salespeople who found a growing market. We know the difference between a program that looks good in a proposal and one that holds up when an OSHA inspector arrives or when a naloxone dose is needed in a break room.

Our team brings together expertise in occupational safety, harm reduction program design, pharmaceutical compliance, and organizational training. Every client engagement is staffed by the people who designed the program — not handed off to a junior account team after the contract is signed.
