CFR Compliance Group

What CFR Compliance Group does

CFR Compliance Group LLC is a privately held, family-owned occupational safety and regulatory compliance firm founded in 1996 by Michael P. Huthwaite and headquartered in Baldwin, New York. The company delivers four integrated service lines: respiratory protection and quantitative fit testing, risk management and loss control, operational safety program development, and governance and digital recordkeeping. Its flagship capability is Condensation Nuclei Counting (CNC) Quantitative Fit Testing, which generates objective numerical fit factors under OSHA 1910.134 and is paired with HIPAA-compliant remote medical clearance workflows, written Respiratory Protection Program development, and centralized digital documentation management. The firm also operates proprietary diagnostic assets including the CFR Readiness Index and a Hospital Respiratory Protection Diagnostic targeted at Joint Commission readiness.

The business model is B2B professional services with custom, quote-based engagement pricing structured around multi-year contracts. Services are delivered on-site by field specialists dispatched to client facilities, supported by HubSpot CRM and JotForm-based intake workflows. Customer segments are concentrated in regulated verticals: healthcare (hospitals and health systems facing Joint Commission surveys), construction (multi-site firms with distributed crews), manufacturing and industrial (multi-shift operations), government and public sector, with secondary exposure to energy & renewables and service & retail. Named customers include NYU Langone Health, NYC Health+ Hospitals, PCM Contracting Corp, Frontier-Kempers Constructors, and Sovereign Hydroseal, indicating an enterprise-oriented client base.

The company is in its third generation of Huthwaite family leadership: Michael A. Huthwaite serves as President and CEO since 2023 after joining as COO & CTO in 2019, with Joseph G. Huthwaite (EVP, Strategy & Governance) and Andrew Huthwaite (Technology & Operations Manager) joining in 2025. Operations have expanded from an East Coast regional focus toward nationwide delivery for multi-facility organizations, and the firm reports 95% client retention alongside active corporate memberships in the National Safety Council, ASSP, and AIHA.
